What is the difference between a thin client and a zero client?

Thin clients use standard CPUs, operating systems (typically an embedded Windows or Linux) and device drivers, so they typically require maintenance in the form of OS and driver updates, anti-virus and so forth. Zero clients have no CPU, application operating system or device drivers so they virtually eliminate desktop maintenance.
