Sure; least of your problems.

No telling without knowing what all the aggregate use cases of your 
usership will be. That being said, Windows is a hog and it's a poor 
excuse for a multiuser application platform. Were it me and I wanted to 
supply a central QGIS deployment to a user population, I'd set up QGIS 
Server on Linux and be done with it. That gets you away from having to 
pay for Remote Desktop Client Access Licenses (the cost of which scales 
with the size of the usership) or server OS licenses.
