Older versions of CE just didn't cut it because of the IE 4.0 CE browser. It 
was pretty crappy. CE .Net uses the version 6 browser which is a lot more 
robust and should serve you well. You need to be certain you get a CE device 
that you can modify the desktop and control.  HP has just released a new CE 
client the t5500 that is managed by Altiris (the best management software on 
the planet) that looks very appealing. 
This unit is NOT a rebranded box it is built by HP for HP.

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you know, 
in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to scaling 
up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints & how to 
overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more servers.
