One customer went down this road and had many problems. They tried
2 or 3 models from different companies, and each had some issues (
screen attributes, connectivity, etc - lots of downloads of updates..). 
Besides,
the desktop users still needed various pc products. It would take a very 
skillful
win technical group to make this work right for the variety of users.
I have seen it work for select users who only needed terminal access to the
iSeries.
