Or you could use the FOSS alternative you can host yourself, Apache Guacamole[0]. EDIT: Interesting. It seems you actually work for/with a company affiliated with Shells? If so, can you do a compare/contrast with Guacamole, AWS Workspaces, etc.? [0] http://guacamole.apache.org/ http://guacamole.apache.org/

> an old laptop that can run a modern browser. This requirement means that it mustn't be a very old laptop. I have a nice IBM R52 Thinkpad, Pentium M 1.8 GHz, 512 MB memory that runs Antix Linux but struggles to run a modern web browser. It seems to me that if you can run a modern web browser then you have enough hardware to run a modern OS locally.
