Well its on the local network, but when you are talking local/remote if you have to remote into it from a different pc, then i dont concider it local, but anyways i do admit my suggestion wasn't greatly practical.
as for security, the main reason microsoft os based machines are targeted and hit more than linux mahines is because the exploits are more public. Not saying a well done linux distro is not more secure, because i know it is. Just that a big part of why this is so is because the exploits are not spread and/or publicised to the extent of an ms os.
