The way you would do it would be to port forward the VMWare Server
https port from your router to the server machine. When you install
VMware Server 2 you can pick any port that you want for the http and
https ports, I use 10080 and 10443. It certainly worth a try. What you
should do is install VMWare Server 2 on a CentOS 5.2 system or some
other stable Linux, and then install an XP or 2K VM on it. Set up the
port on the router and see if performance is good enough.


When the users log in with their (hopefully Firefox) browsers, are they
using users accounts from Windows? Or, are the account from VMware?

It's a Windows desktop so it's a Windows user account. You can have
multiple consoles but they all see exactly the same desktop.

One more suggestion that might work better. You could use rdesktop to
access an XP VM. The Linux rdesktop client works really well over the
Internet.
