[PLUG] Hosting remote access on linux server

[Rich Shepard]

   My accountant wants to set up a service for her clients but the
tax-preparation software runs only on Microsoft.

   Can a server be configured so that the underlying OS is linux, Windows is
in a virtual machine and runs the tax-preparation software, and clients can
log in to their own business account remotely via their Web browser to enter
data?

   If the server is running linux and apache, can a Microsoft application
(I'm assuming there's a multiuser version she'll install) run on top of
that?

   If this can be done, she'll need someone to set it all up for her and,
perhaps, maintain it, too.

Curious minds want to know,
