I would also checkout a product by Faronics called DeepFreeze.
From the website: "Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves baseline computer configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to eradicate all changes and reset the computer to its original state - right down to the last byte. Expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity and technical support time is reduced or eliminated completely. The result is consistent trouble-free computing on a truly protected and parallel network, completely free of harmful viruses and unwanted programs."
At my company we use a combination of Citrix and DeepFreeze that allows users to roam from station to station while still having full access to all of their apps and data (stored on the network). DeepFreeze ensures that a user never messes up the local computer with anything that a reboot can't fix.
You could also just do DeepFreeze, profiles, network based app installs which would ensure the apps and data are on the network.
