Survey Results
With conversations around end user computing dominated by highly
desirable mobile technology, it’s easy to overlook the potential of
thin client hardware. Deployed in the right way to the right types of
user, however, far from being the compromise option, thin client
devices can enhance the user’s overall experience. While the majority
see a role for such technology, legacy perceptions can be an impediment
to adoption.
The majority have an out of date view of thin client technology
Results of a recent Reg reader survey of 220 IT professionals suggests
that knowledge of thin client technologies is frequently out of date.
This is even true in a self-selecting sample that will be biased
towards those with an interest in the topic (Figure 1).

I thought that's what Chromebooks were about.

And with so much "in the cloud", the average person can live with a lot
less computer. Indeed, some of the cloud has risen up because people want
to use their puny iPhone for everything.
