[THIN] Re: XP-embedded

Gone down the same road and came to similar conclusions. Although you
may still need Altiris for the CE version of the thin client, the bit
about not needing to patch, AV etc, was kind of the whole point for one
of clients wanting to move to terminals (and the fact that no one wanted
to go to Angola to fix desktops).

Anyone out there using XP-embedded devices? I'm just looking at some HP
thin clients and they look like more trouble than they're worth. We'd
have to introduce Altiris into our environment as well as add these Xpe
devices to our anti-virus and patching solutions which will take some
time. If we were rolling out across the whole enterprise I might see the
point but for a small number of these devices which is all we would be
using it doesn't exactly look worthwhile introducing another OS to
manage. I think I'll just turn a few old PC's into locked-down
thin-clients. Anyone else been down a similar road or have a different
take on Win XP-e?
