As the Economist said in an article somebody posted here recently, Microsoft has been successful in being "the world's fastest follower", or something of that nature FYI thin client is actually more commercially available for Windows than any other platform: WinFrame, MetaFrame, Citrix etc. Also I think the name of the game is more about conquering new market segments rather fighting about who was the first out of the gate. I don't think the traditional thin client holds much weight right now as a PC replacement - Msft idea of a email + surf machine for $100 bucks makes more sense. /James
