We just added a Dell FX170 running win xp embedded to our domain with the plans 
to test it out with an end-user.  It's just a rebranded devon IT box (I think 
they used to be bosanova) but it seems decent for a more basic/average user.  
Does dual monitors and the xp embedded seems to work well as an "os"


One thing I liked in the documentation was the ability to re-image the device 
by plugging in a usb drive...

I will admit though that I've spent less than an hour on/with the device, so 
not exactly an expert.

Subject: [THIN] Best Thin Clients

in the past, we would get on this topic every few months.  But it seems like it 
has been a while since we had a discussion on who makes the best thin clients.  
With that, who has the best thin client management software.

The landscape has changed with HP swallowing up Neoware, Bosanova chaging 
names, Lenovo, Dell, and even Cisco are getting in the game too.  And probably 
a few I forget or dont' even know about.

For what it is worth, even after 10 years I still hate Wyse.  I even won a 
notebook form them at Synergy and they never bothered to send it and ignored my 
emails.  jerks.  sorry and no i'm not bitter about it or anything.

So, with that...

Who makes the best thin clients and who makes the best thin client management 
software?
