Guest ThomasAJ Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Apologies if on wrong forum but question is due to using Terminal Services. All my users now spend 99% of their time on TS and do no work on their local PC. I have a new user and need new hardware and stumbled upon the 'thin client' concept which sounds great. A brief look at the major hardware suppliers showed that only HP have TC hardware. Surely that cannot be right and any comments on their products in the Microsoft TS environment. Um is there a thin client forum? -- Regards Tom
Guest Patrick Rouse Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 RE: What is best thin client hardware. Wyse and Neoware are the biggest vendors, and Neoware wha recently acquired by HP. I personally like Wyse because I'm comfortable managing them after so many years dealing with these devices. Here's a list, but I haven't updated the vendors in a few months: http://www.sessioncomputing.com/thin-clients.htm You could also install a thin client OS on an older PC, i.e. ThinStation or PXES. -- Patrick C.

Guest ThomasAJ Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 RE: What is best thin client hardware. Very Interesting. Hm takes me way back to 1978, first job programming IBM System 12 and GREEN SCREENS. A rhetorical question. What's the fundamental difference between the green screen era and today's corporate 'core computing' environment? Answer: "Color" but only if the company has moved to using thin clients. I always have a quiet chuckle thinking about the trillions of dollars spent going in circles under the guise of progress pushed by computer people with complete ignorance of the past. -- Regards Tom "Patrick Rouse" wrote: > Wyse and Neoware are the biggest vendors, and Neoware wha recently acquired > by HP.
