Been using this at the High school i work for. Used to use Fortres, but me and new district tech hate it. and Deep Freeze is somewhat pricey. There are some "gottchas" i've been finding out such as some appz not being able to run.

Microsoft is releasing an XP for thin client sometime early this year. I am looking at this as we have a bunch of old machines that we could still hang on to as opposed to spending money on new machines.

I guess my first response would be.....and?

Where is the discussion here? Maybe I missed something.

Also, there are thin clients with XP embedded already running. Its actually called, XPe.
A good example of Thin Clients with XPe is at http://www.neoware.com/thin-clients/windows_xpe.html.
Also, notice that the link from Bink.nu that you linked to was posted April 2005.

In addition, you can find more info about XPe at http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/w...d/default.aspx.
