My take:

> * the server hardware
server host

> * the software that operates the server
server (or 'server software')
Or just use the product name.

> * the applications that are delivered from the server.
applications
(or use the product names)

> the PC's operating system
workstation host OS
(or just 'workstation OS')

> the server's system
server host OS

It can get a little tricky: Is this a web app, like an .asp
application? In that case the client is the browser and nothing
else is installed on the workstation.

Or is it a true application server? In that case the 'client' is
temporarily running on the workstation. Is anything installed on
the user workstations other than a browser?

Hope that helps,
Mike O.
