Re:Thin clients are good in PRACTICE (Score 1)

There are ways to achieve full-motion video with a "thin client". For example, there is software that streams the entire OS and applications (Windows Media, etc) down to a PC and then runs locally in RAM. There is no local hard drive, and the information is streamed down from the server to the PC when needed. Since the OS and applications run locally in RAM, you get the best of both worlds - local processing speeds and performance of a PC and the safety and security and manageability of a thin client.
