Well, for a company like SUNW, which has no mass market client products, the benefit is obvious - it drives more server sales. Customer benefit (or the lack thereof) is another issue. The various arguments for thin clients in specialized environments - bank tellers, etc. - are really the terminal replacement market, not PCs. The argument about lower administration costs is also not supported by years of field data which shows that the administration cost is just transferred to the server. Much as I admire JC, his posts on this thread are intended to bust chops and harass the MS faithful, not encourage rational discussion.
