Sure, the extra cost is the TS license, if you're replacing Windows
machines with Linux+rdesktop clients. If you were running Office on those
Windows machines in the first place, you already have enough Office
licenses. That said, a TS license is cheaper than a Windows OS license
surely (but not necessarily - I can imagine a good^H^H^H^Hevil case for
making it cost more)...
