"Intel chief executive Craig Barrett and Microsoft chairman and chief executive Bill Gates touted the growth of their products together in the workstation market at a jointly-sponsored Workstation Leadership Forum.

Barrett showed recent data from International Data Corp., a market reseach firm in Framingham, Mass., which indicated that Intel/Microsoft workstations are growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 30 percent, from 1998 to 2003."



Thread,
Judging by the figure above, maybe it is not such a mystery why MSFT isn't quick to jump on the thin client bandwagon. Looks like the traditonal fat client/server model is still running strong. It's pretty certain MSFT is keeping a close eye out on any sneak attack from Java on this model. Maybe if/when Java does truly threaten the Windows operating system, you'll see MSFT truly getting behind the ICA/RDP thin client push.
