Article on thin clients in SF Chron mentions Windows NT Embedded and CE. This looks to be their market. I don't see it as too much of a threat yet. Just MS defending their desktop space as it evolves. Also, where is the new release of CE. One would have assumed that MS would have it by the ESC. Vaporware???? We can only hope. "Relying at first on technology licensed from Citrix, an innovative software developer based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Microsoft released a special version of its Windows NT 4.0 server software that allows thin clients to run standard Windows applications from the server. It also came up with two operating systems for thin clients: first a version of Windows CE, originally developed for handheld devices, then a higher- powered alternative called Embedded NT. And with the new Windows 2000, Microsoft built support for thin clients directly into the standard server versions of the software.
