Does anyone have any pointers on the best way to buy and manage Windows and other MS licenses in this type of environment?

Yes +1 on this,

What kind of licensing would you need? For both the server and the clients

MS Partner program will suite this requirement 100%, but otherwise contact workgroup.co.za and get in touch with someone MS confident and competent, he/she will point you in the right direction.

What model Wyse? Why go this route in a POS environment? Don't you drivers for many devices like poll display, scanners, printers, cash till etc. on the local device?

Depends on the Virtualization environment, VM or MS. Zero clients, mostly P25 and Thin clients, mostly T10 Wyse units.

I do not discuss business.

That's fine, I am aware of VMware VDI/View and Wyse TCX. So I see how that could work but VMWare = lots of $$$ last time I checked. MS VDI could be the cheaper option but I haven't played with it. Wyse also had a product called WSM, but I didn't really like the concept of it.
