Why Buy $500 Thin Clients ?

Thursday, 02 June 2005 by Michel Roth

Brian Madden has posted an article on his website in which he debates the legitimacy of $500 Thin Clients. Often they do much more that you want them to do and you end up having to manage those Thin Clients almost as much as you would have a Fat Client.

Brian Madden: "I am appalled and disgusted by how expensive thin client devices are and how much they effort they are to manage. Unless you specifically need to watch videos on these things (which I guess applies to about 3% of the people who buy them), I think anyone who spends more than $15 on a thin client device is an absolute fool."
