Am concluding this blog here, since professionally, I will not be focussing on this area anymore.
Thin Clients & Virtualization are in my eyes undoubtedly the future of computing - the host of new technologies emerging every month now from different companies all point in that direction. What will be interesting to see as this story unfolds is - who will be the GORILLA - and who will turn out to be the CHIMPANZEES as this tornado crosses the chasm of technology adoption and hits the main street.
From the moves being now made in the market - my guess is, hp will be a big player (witness the Neoware buyout, the blade server (Shorty) / blade PC story) unfolding. Microsoft - never one to be left out, will make a big play for sure (witness their buyout of Softgrid, their own work on virtual PC, virtualization softwares, the designing-in of many Citrix functionalities in their upcoming Longhorn server). The other biggie to be watched here will be IBM. Fasten up gents, the flight is just about taking off now.
Specifically around the "Client" being virtualized - the opportunity being thrown up is to get the next billion users onto the world wide web, using a virtualized setup or a thin client. For this set of users - "psychological obsolescense" be damned, its just a question of - "give me something that works - allows me to get onto the internet - and yes, which does not need to be maintained/ pampered"......"Did you say its not exactly a PC ?"....."Who cares ?"
If you are into IT hardware - watch this space very closely in the days to come.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
