All these type of articles talk about "all you need is a 486". If the business is considering switching to a thin client configuration how many do you think still have 486's?
They all have 2.8G P4's with 512M of RAM on each desk, what a waste to try and convince them to buy a super dooper server with 50G of RAM. Now all those $2,000 machines sitting there become dumb terminals.
What I would like to see is the client runs as a thin client but there is an agent loaded that makes it part of the distributed virtual computer allowing it's CPU to be utilized.
