If you work at a small or midsize business, you probably haven’t seen a so-called “thin client” for a long, long time. If you’ve ever even heard of them, you may have thought they were almost extinct, living on only in the dusty corners of huge bureaucratic organizations that never got the memo about personal computers. Well, Wyse Technology says they’re ba-a-a-ck! Sort of.

It certainly will be interesting to see if thin client whether it’s at home or the small business becomes more mainstream. More and more, I see it as appealing for me. Ultimately my digital life is on my trusted MacPro, everything else is either online or can be streamed to whatever device I’m using. With this in mind I wonder when we’ll see the home type thin client solution using VMware or something similar?

By 2012 will we find the MacLeod household in sunny England powered by a VMware and DL380 type device with all my clients ‘thin’ terminals? Will I have an in-house virtual infrastructure? For families it would be perfect, I could allocate my child a part of the pc, have them isolated from my Outlook, my pictures, my documents and know that by installing application7, playing online or re-installing that game won’t cause me to loose data.
