I don't think that every desktop should be fat, but mine better be! <grin> -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Braebaum, Neil Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 9:17 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: Here's a biggie.

Why is thin computing the future. 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.
