Terminal Server runs on Windows, so yeah, you would need a Windows server.

You create a 'burn' or image of the software you want to load, and
then you copy it down to the internal 'drive', which is actually just
memory. You can map drives from the thin client to a server (including
the i5) and load any software from there.

Consistency primarily...all the fat clients run iSeries Access, so it
makes sense from a support standpoint to not have something different.
There emulation is just a bit funky, and there was no real reason to
use it.
