Hi,
My concern is that Remote Desktop licensing is expensive. And from what I have 
been able to figure out, JAWS uses four virtual channels. That means that when 
the server gets a lot of people on it, either someone gets kicked off or JAWS 
doesn't function optimally. So I was wondering if there's a way around this 
limitation.

Good afternoon Jim,

It sounds like you are looking for Application Virtualization.  A method that 
allows you to virtualize an application across many clients.  I have not read 
much about this, but imagine that it would not be particularly accessible to 
assistive technologies like screen-readers, if this is a concern in your 
current situation.

I'd want to have a bunch of software sitting on a server with several people 
using PC's as basically dumb terminals.

Hi,
Could VM be used in place of Remote Desktop?

Thanks.
