<< Until fault resilient networks are born this makes the network and back-end iron as a single point of failure. >>

My current desktop PC is a single point of failure and it crashes nearly every day.

<< Limiting future variety and work that can be performed at the terminal side. >>

I suppose the limits are about the same as those you'd find on any PC priced under $500.

<< Buying a lot of big back end iron to support them. >>

The world is moving that way already. A PC's biggest job today is to give your web browser a place to run. It's also cheaper to support applications and data at the server side.

<< Requires re-training of staff to use new applications. >>

And the Windows annual versions don't?

<< Require re-write of back-end applications. >>

Most applications aren't very old anyway. I don't see this as an issue.

<< Require re-wiring of network infrasture; to ethernet. >>

What did they have before they had ethernet??
