You can run MS Office from a MS Windows 2000 Server running terminal
services. You will only need to install the MS terminal services client on
your windows boxes. In fact you can run a large number of windows apps using
terminal services under Windows 2000. The main problem with windows apps is
that they assume that you are running a single user workstation. Another
option of running Windows apps remotely is to use Citrix.
Under Linux, you can run almost any app remotely on a server. The only
limitations are that your app doesn't need to use specific hardware on
server like sound cards and in most cases OpenGL apps. Also a lot of apps
don't perform as well when run on a server as they would if you run them
locally.

PS: OpenOffice under Linux will work from a remote server!
