You do know that a license is needed to connect to a Windows server don't you? Generally, licenses for thin clients are purchased in groups of 10 or 100 or whatever. If you buy 10, the 11th connection is refused, if you buy 100 and only use 11, then you've wasted some money.
It is perhaps a tart Pippen to sweet Red Delicious comparison, but it is still in the apple to apple comparison family.
