[THIN] Re: Recommendations for Thin client devices

The benefit to a native browser mainly depends on how locked-down and
high-maintenance you want your environment to be.  With the write
filter enabled on XPe thin clients, you can feel a bit better about
giving your users the ability to browse a bit more freely.

If you maintain a locked-down Desktop / Published Apps environment,
then you have to be prepared to either assume more risk (as one
spyware infection can take out a whole server) or spend a lot more
time adding approved sites to whatever your control mechanism is (GPO
or the like) when users complain that a site doesn't work.

What's the advantage of using XPe vs. CE or Linux?  It seems like the
clients have to have so much more resources (and are priced
accordingly)?

What is the benefit of having a native web browser on the thin client?
