We are opening small web kiosk stores in rural India and Mexico and are hoping to drive down the equipment and software costs via using Celeron/Sempron processors and the lowest Windows OS edition possible.
The kiosks will be using CyberCafePro software with a Main Control Station connected via a simple LAN. We had hoped to use mirror imaging so as to not have to have the physical game CDs be present when a game is being played on a client machine (CCP will manage the license usage).
Symantec mentioned that Windows ME could work on the client side, but doen not support Windows XP Home. Might Windows XP Home work with Symantec's Ghost -- or do we need to instead spec the higher cost of Windows XP Pro?
Are there any other alternatives that would be easy to use (as our individual store operator IT knowledge will be minimal).
Any advice would be most appreciated.
