This is definitely an interesting way to go to get Windows apps on a Linux
desktop. I wonder how many instances of WDSC could be supported on a single
server.

On the same note, I found this feature for VirtualBox the other day that
works for scenarios where Linux is your host OS and Windows is the guest VM
on the *same* machine (i.e. no server required):

5 for me. I concur with whoever else mentioned iSeries Navigator as
well. I'd dearly love to not be shackled to M$ any longer.

No one has mentioned (that I noticed anyway) using some product such as
2X Application Server to host RDi/WDSCi. I tried a limited version of
that software with Office 2003 some months back, I believe, and it
worked flawlessly from what I could tell. I hosted Office 2003 on my XP
desktop, and installed the Linux 2X client in a VM. From there, I could
launch any program I hosted from the XP machine: notepad, Office 2003, I
think I even tried Visual Studio. With that kind of infrastructure in
place, could we not place WDSCi on a server somewhere and connect to it
using the 2X client (which I believe was available for
Windows/Linux/Mac)? I think 2X even allowed you to specify how many
users could run the hosted program at any given time (to help deal with
any potential per-seat licensing issues).

Also, the limited version of 2X was fully-functional, but allowed no
more than 5 concurrent connections (which could potentially handle most
small development teams' needs, right?).

Am I missing something major here, or could this be at least a temporary
answer until IBM realizes that making this product run everywhere
Eclipse does should have been a given from day 1?
