Well, remember that as soon as Windows enters the equation you are into proprietary software and licence fees. Microsoft require licences whether you deploy Windows to each station or access a central copy remotely. AIUI, the basic technical problem is that Windows expects to be running with access to a hard drive, so you either have a drive in each workstation or have a copy of Windows on the server using the server's hard drive and provide remote desktop access to that central copy.
The only other option that I know of is to circumvent the problem by ditching Windows... Either by using WINE to run the specific Windows apps you need on a Linux OS, or replacing the whole lot with Free Software so you aren't bound by any EULA.
I've never used Mars, but I beleive that it enables a Linux box to emulate older versions of Netware server ?
