Installed some Wyse S90's recently. This model has the embedded Windows XP. They are a good fit for certain environments. Setup is simple and since they don't have many moving parts they are good in manufacturing environments. Check carefully the list of approved peripheral devices if you need them. Not all local printers work with these devices.

Seeing on the horizon yet another painful desktop OS upgrade to Vista, I see a chance to perhaps get off the hamster wheel. I would like to test a small (initially 2-3 then up to 25 clients) pilot of these devices. My only exposure to these was a lone Wyse 3360SE (Windows CE 3.0 I think) device many years ago. At that time I found it slow and limited (graphics resolution) but usable. I don't think they would ever replace all the PC's (laptops and GIS editing stations in particular) in my case, but the vast majority of users use MS Office, E-mail (groupwise) and a handful of apps (most already available as published applications on our Citrix farm). I would be interested in hearing real world opinions of likes/dislikes in these devices. Be sure to include: _Make/Model _OS (CE, XPe, Linux, others?) Do you find one of these superior to another? Why? Thanks in advance. -Matt SBC SITES ONLY GOOGLE SEARCH: http://www.F1U.com ************************************************ For Archives, RSS, to Unsubscribe, Subscribe or set Digest or Vacation mode use the below link: //www.freelists.org/list/thin ************************************************ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com ?
