“Thin clients are about to get thinner. In fact, they’re
going to get much thinner — and so are the profits from
products.
This week at LinuxWorld, for example, Maxspeed will roll out a
$149 machine called +One that’s about the size of a pack of
cigarettes. At the same time, Vega Technologies is developing a
technology to share one PC’s processing power among multiple thin
clients — for about $199 per station.
Both offerings could put a serious strain on the traditional PC
model. Moreover, both companies believe their products will have a
strong market among ASPs, in large e-commerce systems, and in small
and midsize companies where cost is a major factor.”
