HP Thin clients are what used to be Neoware and they are very good. Take a
look at 10Zig to. they seem to be decent too. I have not put any in
production yet but I have some customers giving them a solid look.
I think dell is repackaging Devon IT. Cisco is repackaging Wyse.
I heard something at lunch about an new HDX chip that is being made that
supposedly wil reduce the size of a thin client to something the size of an
iphone or appletv.
I would look forward with WES rather than XPe. The danger with windows
based is they can become as much overhead to manage as a desktop if you're
not careful.
