Personally, I'd definitely like to stay away from anything win embedded, but
have heard that win7 embedded in combination with HDX offers a "greater"
user experience. I plan to bring both (win7 and zero) into the environment
once i complete our XenDesktop installation. The WYSE Xenth looks compelling
but haven't found any independent information about it's true performance or
experience.
Which clients have you used or do you currently use with success Pat?
