I looked them up on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinCan . The design is fairly interesting, but I am not sure about the performance it can provide.

I am sure Point of Sale can be run on it, but I am not sure. It'll take some research and hopefully you can figure it out. smile

Ahh, I was wondering. I was worried because I thought regular computers had emissions of sorts, and being in an enclosed area. I guess that was my blonde moment.

I feel this is a selling point for me on this virtual desktop, as the company I am looking into starting has several different departments with different needs. I imagine that this could help me out so that if one person signs on, his or her application can start right away without having to worry about other's apps. Do any other products have similar features?

I just read somewhere that thin clients are green, as in they are safer for the environment. How could this be, what differences in environmental settings do these provide that bigger computers don't.

Does the amount of ram in Thin Client hardware make a huge difference, because my understanding was the central server did everything. I need to do some more research methinks.

As I am really new to this, and need them pretty soon (within 6 months), I am wanting to know how you choose your products? What should I be looking out for?

This seems like it would work better with a place that has many virtual desktops, I plan on only using 5 at the most, would I need this or is there another route I could take?

This is the cheapest thin client that HP sells, is it really worthwhile? I am still kind of new to thin clients, and want to know what makes a $199 better machine better than a $499 machine.
