Doug, Can you respond to "The NC's dirty little secret" ncworldmag.com "...NC vendors don't like to give out review units for the same reason they're not seeding the NC on a large scale: The server end is too difficult to set up. " The author goes on to explain that once a server is set up, then it is easy to deploy large numbers, but this seems like a difficult thing for NCD to address (once MSFT takes over), and a deterrent to transitioning to NCs. It seems that NCD just has to trust that Microsoft's HydraNT will provide this ease of use. Does NCD have any plans to further simplify this process? another article expressing similar concerns: VARBusiness Weighs In On Thin Clients techweb.cmp.com "...NCs are not your father's PCs. They are simple boxes with some local intelligence that require coddling and hand-holding from the server." - Mark
