That is something a coworker is looking into, the biggest problem is we are expected to have ~5,000+ users of our app internally providing them all with VM's is way beyond the scope of what we support.

Even getting our app running on premise was a nightmare, and resulted in us just buying a rack mount and having them put it inside their DC, after everything they gave us was pretty awful.

Consider perhaps a remote-terminal solution - in general I am against VDI and Citrix and such, but maybe you can find a remote app delivery mechanism that still has a Win2k client and can display the browser running remotely.

There are X11 servers for Windows that might be able to run Electron off a remote Linux machine, though watch out for problems with opening files and copy/paste.
