I designed a thin client server system that optionally delivers VMWare Player 
to the client so that it may run a VMWare image off the server in "snapshot" 
mode. In snapshot mode, changes are stored to a seperate file. Using some 
clever NFS and symlink tricks, I trick VMware Player in to storing the 
snapshot file in a IP-address-specific directory on the server. So, 
essentially, they can run Windows w/o a hard drive.

It also serves a Linux desktop in the same way that a Live CD works.

I would be willing to bring a server and few client systems to demo with.
