UPkeep? Have you looked at upkeep of thin clients? Many are Embedded Windows XP. They still need firmware updates, configuration management, security management and more. And if you don't have to tools to update them all at once, you have to walk around to each one. It _doubles_ the number of O/S instances you have to manage. You still have to deploy apps to the VMs in the server farm (one per person), make sure Windows Updates get installed, A/V is up to date, etc. And then look at the cost of the thin clients - a full PC isn't much more these days.
