Told by who? Wyse. They are trying to sell their product. Not exactly true.
Oh and Yeah all of your printers are USB right? Do you see any legacy
printer ports on their devices? Be careful with this. They are forcing the
technology.
Ask Wyse how easy it is to update the browser version or push out a patch
when MS releases it every week. Darn...don't think it is very easy.
Yes you can VERY effectively lock down an NTe/Xpe device. If it gets messed
up you push out a new image and it reimages in two minutes. Don't rule out
Neoware's clients either. Our units are being used with terminal
emulation, citrix and IE 6.0 in a Public library setting. (the biggest
hacker environment known to man)

Was told CE is more secure and easier to manage. We don't want our users to
be able to install anything. Can this be controlled if enbedded NT or XP is
used?? We need 3270 locally as this is our companies bread and butter - if
our citrix servers are down, our people can still work. The Browser locally
is simply to remove a load from the citrix servers. I was also under the
impression from Wyse that CE.NET can run IE5.5..
I take your point though - have heard alot of people complain about Wyse and
since we are yet to purchase any thin client devices, will definitily have a
look at the Netx range (just a pity they only have 1 model to choose from
(based on what I saw on their web site))
Thanks Jim for your comments
