Here is some breaking news - that can give a BIG BIG boost - to thin client computing.

Despite its former reluctance to support thin-client computing, Microsoft is now loosening up on its stand. First, they are going to permit streaming Vista directly to thin clients, allowing it to boot from the network instead of a local hard drive. The other change is a new subscription license called Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktops (VECD). VECD lets customers to host Vista as virtual machines on something like VMware or Virtual PC.
With the company married to desktops, now changing its stand, thin clients will now move beyond being just-another-distraction on the side.
