"This past year has seen thin client computing accelerate tremendously in comparison with other IT market segments. This process is fuelled by the continuous fat client security and administration problems, as well as the prospect of an expensive Vista roll out. Over the past year, our team has developed a strong product portfolio of thin client computing software and I am excited to be able to lead 2X to a dominant market position in the thin client computing market. Our strategy is to build a large installed user base and community around our products, backed by the 2X channel partner program and our highly motivated teams." announced Nikolaos Makris, CEO 2X.
