We had wyse thin clients at my last job for a while and they were junk.
They would power off randomly for no reason. The user would be typing along
and <boom> they were off. They would also randomly reset to factory
settings. Following a long weekend, users would come to work and they would
be back at the out of the box settings. Not all of them, just a few. It
was maddening to support and after spending a small fortune in shipping
costs to RMA one or two a week, we trashed them all for Neoware thin
clients.
Wyse said the problems were dur to poor power in our buildings. they were
all built by the same company so i could accept that. They also said other
customers didn't report these issues. All i know is we didn't have any
similar problems with Neoware thin clients. It has been a few years but my
dealings with Wyse were not good and I will never buy one of their products
again.
