I don't think that every desktop should be fat, but mine better be!

If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
 
I agree with most of your points. I personally think that thin is in
where the pipes are small. But somewhere along the lines people started
to think that every desktop should be running Citrix. 
 

Some people will - as likewise, some people will think that every
desktop should be a fat client ;-)
 

 
I'm sure that Citrix has gotten a pretty penny from you since 98, unless
you are still on Winframe 1.7! 

I'm sure that over the 4+ years this solution has been in, it's
represented remarkably good value to the business, compared with any
architectural alternatives.
