<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>The
story behind the questions. A client is looking at moving *<b>everything</b>*
from a local server room to a hosted environment and considering going to thin
clients, with the idea being that pretty much all on-site support is
eliminated. The hosted environment would be Terminal Services on Windows
Server 2008. I’d welcome comments on the overall concept, but I’m really
looking for answers regarding good Thin Client solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
