First Claim
1. A method for making a hypermedium page interactive, the hypermedium page displayed by a network browser, comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting a hyperlink on the hypermedium page displayed on a client node, the hyperlink identifying a desired computing resource;
(b) retrieving a hyperlink configuration file, the hyperlink configuration file corresponding to the hyperlink and identifying a server machine;
(c) starting a client agent on the client node;
(d) creating by the client agent, via a terminal services session, a communication link to a virtual machine executing on the server identified by the hyperlink configuration file, the virtual machine executed by a hypervisor executing in the terminal services session provided by an operating system executing on the server; and
(e) receiving, by the client agent, data from the virtual machine and displaying on the client node the received data without intervention by the network browser.

Abstract
A method for making a hypermedium page interactive, the hypermedium page displayed by a network browser, includes the step of selecting a hyperlink on the hypermedium page displayed on a client machine, the hyperlink identifying a desired computing resource. A hyperlink configuration file is retrieved, the hyperlink configuration file corresponding to the hyperlink and identifying a server machine. A client agent is started on the client machine. The client agent creates, via a terminal services session, a communication link to a virtual machine executing on the server identified by the hyperlink configuration file, the virtual machine executed by a hypervisor executing in the terminal services session provided by an operating system executing on the server. The client agent receives data from the virtual machine and displays, on the client machine, the received data without intervention by the network browser.
