What is wrong with options that already work?  There are online sources 
that offer OSS that you can connect to, as an example www.gopc.net . 
They have a full setup that looks like a Linux desktop.  Apps include 
OOo, ThunderBird and FireFox just to name a few.  This would also reduce 
the TCO for a business as they do not have to maintain the servers that 
the programs run on.  Why do people try to keep reinventing the wheel? 
It has been done and works, make improvements but not redo all the work.

As stated gopc.net is only one source available.
