I have an HP thin client here running ce.net. It's got to be the most
unfriendly thin client I have ever seen.  I think you really need a
well setup Rapport installation (or whatever HP calls their version)
to make these really work well.  It is a t5500.

I slimmed mine down by installing ICA 8 from the Citrix website.  I
then removed all the surrounding HP garbage like Messenger and IE from
the desktop and start menu and left just the ICA shortcuts I wanted
the user to have on the desktop.  The start menu is pretty much empty
and the desktop is pretty clean as a result too.  I put the main ica
connection I wanted them to use in the startup folder so it starts
once it boots up.

So far so good but I won't be recommending them as a solution for us.
