This InformationWeek story "Cincinnati Bell Adopts Virtual Desktops And Thin Clients - The company finds that desktop virtualization is a better alternative to upgrading hundreds of PCs running Windows 2000," is yet another great example of how a growing number of organizations are improving security and saving money through desktop virtualization and thin client deployments - it's not just Bob Gourley and I using thin clients at home and at work. Any organization that has employees working on connected desktops at work and/or at home can take advantage of the security improvements, energy reduction and operational cost savings of a thin client environment. I can't see why anyone would still be deploying old fashioned desktops any more, unless they just like to spend a lot of money, put all their corporate data at risk AND use up a ton of electricity.
