Why would I use a PC locked down with ThinPC rather than using a lower cost Thin Client?
There are many reasons, but the most obvious reason is that you can use ThinPC on your existing PCs without the need to purchase additional hardware, thereby extending the life of your PCs. Additionally, since the PC is running Window XP, all peripherals are supported, which isnt generally the case with a Thin Client. For example, if you wanted to attach a smart card reader or biometric device for use in the application designated by ThinPC, it will not be an issue because Windows XP drivers are available for almost all peripheral devices. The same cannot be said for drivers available on Thin Clients, especially as related to Universal Print Drive Support in the Citrix world.
