Don't Call It A Comeback: Thin ClientsThe appeal of 'thin client computing' always made sense for many different types of applications--lots of inexpensive, redundant, distributed terminals, backed up with secure, managable central resources. And despite cheaper hardware, broswer-based apps and Linux, it still makes sense. The latest TechBuilder Recipe heralds the Return of the Thin Client: "The nice thing about running Windows-based applications on a server via Terminal Services is that it's no longer necessary to run the typical Windows OS on the desktop...the hardware resources required at the network client are dramatically reduced. For example, you can purchase thin client PC hardware from Hewlett-Packard for about $200 to $700 per system." Posted by Joe Caponi at 03:18 PM, February 26, 2007 This is a public forum.
