Comment Re:"Thin Clients" are pretty much dead. (Score 1) 87

I would have to disagree, we use Terminal Server quite often and continue to do so. I work for a Clinical Research Org and we have many Research sites with 4-5 computers for 20 people, and slow frame links from our main sites to these research units. Terminal Server/Metaframe is a great solutions for this, you don't need to administer 20 remote PCs and it requires very little bandwidth to operate.

I've also seen alot of ASPs arise in the last few months. The contractors here provide ASP services and are doing quite well at it, many of there clients are small shops that don't want to spend the money on a service contract, and have no in-house IT. With ASP all the servers can be centrally located and administers, also you can use junk PCs as the end workstation, so upgrading isn't necessary every year.
