Stop calling me thin!
Our industry is usually very good at finding new names to be quite accurate in what we describe or even to create new demand or markets. What I don't understand is the confusion we as an industry still have around thin clients. Are we talking about a web browser (i.e. no install on the client to deploy web applications), an emulation technology (i.e. Citrix and others) or an easily maintainable desktop device (i.e. a SunRay)?

We need a better term. Wake-up marketing! ;-)
