An option then is to turn the most powerful PC into a win2k server, 
upgrade the other 2 to Pro and set up the most responsible user (not per 
with most business responsibility, but person with best practice on the 
computer.  in other words does not use a lot of IM programs, avoids 
flash sites, etc...) and put them on the win2k server as a standard 
user...  this way you can accomplish 100% of your goals in the windows 
environment  and not have to bring in a new computer.  it is not best 
practice to use a server for a desktop, but in this case if you really 
want/need the roaming profiles, added security of Active Directory, 
better search functions provided by LDAP, better and more reliable 
network shares for files and hardware this is something worth looking into.
