What I don't understand is why they can't create some kind of hardened Embedded windows that can't be hacked or wormed or virus. On one of our big projects we turned on the first Windows Embedded TC's and within minutes they were infected!!! Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Never regretted going to Linux based thins here. They boot up in nothing flat, require no real patches (other than ICA client), perform better with less expensive hardware. You couldn't pay me to run Windows on a thin. Defeats the whole purpose by having something that needs constant care and feeding. Might as well run a PC with XP/Vista on it at that point IMO.
