No, because that software is likely more expensive than a Windows license.
All major thin client software is free.
well eLux is FREE, but the management is not .. anyway the reason i linked to the video before is that at least 2 contributors said "not same functionality" "chrome is better" "slow as fuck" "pc desktop is better"... so i just wanted to show it basically possible to have same user experience on a thin client.. with "shitrix" or "PooOip". .. noamally i user the rigth name... but i still wanna be a "gang member"

The management piece is often where the cost is.
You can use eLux effectively on most any "fat" hardware, correct? I see it has an ARM version, does RP4 work?

forget the ARM... not developed.. as the were many "client apps" not made for arm... so it is kind of discontinued... ps: i have to do a lot of cleaning up on my website... so current info is on myelux.com
any yes.... eLux works on "almost" any X64 platform... though wireless drivers can be an issue... rigth now the have a "free everyting" offer if you run it from a USB stick .. until 31. October....

yes... but it is still the same issue ... where is the volume... as with hardware and thin clients , and with software.. where is the volume... the volume is on X64 hardware.. and not on ARM... i know citrix did some work there... but "others" dont... so the volume is not there.. ps: to my knowledge there we too many firmware updates to the "Texas Instruments" used by Fujitsu.... so we never did a ARM terminal (luckey us)

RP is the best selling single hardware of all time. It's a bit of volume. In fact, essentially every SMB I know that does thin clients of any sort use it. The performance is so good, at a cost so low, hard to imagine using anything else. It seems to have the volume these days.
