Personally I do not like XPe thin clients (or at least the HP ones we have
deployed) They take far too long to boot-up and are much harder to manage
than the CE ones we have as well

Anyone out there using XP-embedded devices? I'm just looking at some HP thin
clients and they look like more trouble than they're worth. We'd have to
introduce Altiris into our environment as well as add these Xpe devices to
our anti-virus and patching solutions which will take some time. If we were
rolling out across the whole enterprise I might see the point but for a
small number of these devices which is all we would be using it doesn't
exactly look worthwhile introducing another OS to manage. I think I'll just
turn a few old PC's into locked-down thin-clients. Anyone else been down a
similar road or have a different take on Win XP-e?
