This client-server system partitions Windows applications into multi-media and other less-observable instructions such that client may run audio/visual-related commands remotely, thereby enabling an application appearance to client-user as when application were run solely by a single machine. Clients may access applications through web-sites or remote access servers. Client requests may be atomized such that instruction set sub-sets are partitioned correspondingly. Operating system parameters on which application is run may be accessed selectably. Server may centralize administration and provide metering of application usage.
