Not that I am opposed, but this seems suspiciously like a thin client arrangement and a nfs root mount arrangement. Which makes me think that no one has heard of thin clients on windows, which work just fine. Less training to move someone onto citrix or windows terminal server clusters than to move your infrastructure to linux.
