Here's comprehensive coverage of thin client technology for Microsoft Windows and Windows NT-technology that provides simple machines (even the dumb terminal) the power to run advanced applications of Microsoft's servers.

Microsoft will support this technology in NT 5.0 with code name Hydra - as TCO solution that combines all the appeal of NC with the installed base of Windows applications, expect it to be hot!
