Who else is doing thin clients nowadays?
Lots of people, including big players like Sun Microsystems, HP, Wyse and IBM. These companies are producing thin-client solutions because the technology appeals to large organisations who find that the burden of administering, supporting and upgrading systems with thousands of networked PC is becoming prohibitive. But we were interested in much smaller organisations — companies employing less than 50 people, schools, universities, Internet cafes and households — which need networked systems but lack the IT skills and budgets needed to deploy conventional technology.
