Unless you are using Citrix or a thin-client infrastructure, it was impossible until today. Now you can install Ulteo's "Open Virtual Desktop", link it to your AD/LDAP user directory and CIFS fileserver, decide which app is to be published for which user and ask users to connect to a local URL with IE or Firefox. You're done! For now you can deliver any Linux application, and they say it will be possible to deliver Windows apps in three months. And by the way, it's Open Source software!"

I've just tried it and they have implemented an interesting way to print documents, as a PDF download. It seems that the Ulteo plateform also offers some realtime desktop sharing capabilities, for training and workgroup. I would love to access all my apps online the same way!"
