I went with neoware after attempting to trial wyse... The trial winterm
arrived in lockdown mode and so after some fiddling and head scratching I
finally figured this out and sent it back and requested a replacement. While
waiting on a replacement winterm I trialled a capio from neoware and
everything was nice and easy, so I placed the order. Then about two months
later Wyse rang up and told me my trial machine was well overdue... I
enjoyed sending them proof of delivery and explaining that they still hadnt
sent me a replacement trial machine and I had since gone with Neoware.
Unfortunately though after the implemantation complaints came from users
that the screen refresh rates on the capios were slow when compared to the
old celeron 600s runing RDP on Win2k that they were replacing. (only a
problem for counter staff)
They are also a bit slower to boot than winterms
But management was a breeze

my company ran Wyse for several years and had nothing but problems.
We finally bit the bullet and tosssed them all in favor of Neoware.
They have been great. The support has been good to. The biggest factor in
choosing a thin client is the management software. If you don't have good
software to manage and deploy the units, then you will be wasting your time.
Neoware has good management tools and they are compatible with third party
tools like Altiris. Wyse has some different things, I really don't know
too much about it these days but I am sure someone on this list can share
their experience.
Both companies will send you a demo unit and provide support to check them
out. I recommend you put them head to head and see which one comes out on
top for you.
