Obviously you have not experienced a thin client with a properly running server on the back end. Go find an LTSP installation and try it. Done right, I could put you in front of two identical cases, one with an 200-300MHz CPU, diskless, networked to a server providing 20 other clients and the other with a CPU twice as fast running the same Linux on the local hard drive. Other than more noise coming from the stand alone installation because of the hard drive, the performance would look and feel THE SAME! I have seen it.
And, the user of the thin client has just as much customization capability as the stand alone box user does.

Please, thin client does not equal dumb terminal!
