Yes, I finally became a REAL member of SI. RE the article you posted. I went to the "comparison", and if you really analyze it, WYSE is inferior. First off, you have to use Windows 3.1... NCDI uses Windows NT...which is preferable to Win 3.1 for businesses ... Second, the authors admit that NCDI's terminal supports more software...the list is posted below. You can compare yourself.

Here's the CITRIX list from your post:

Pros
1.Easy to install
2.Easy to configure
3.Applications reside on the primary server
4.Distributes load over two balanced servers
5.Servers managed from central location

Cons
1.Requires separate server for data files
2.Uses Windows 3.1 interface

Here's the NCDI list:

Pros
1.Offers many client/server configuration
and deployment options
2.Supports broad range of infrastructures
3.NCD Explora 451 natively runs Java applications
4.Acts as hardware client for 3270 sessions
5.Uses installation scripts

Cons
1.Exhibits display artifacts
2.Difficult to configure
3.Most expensive solution
