    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    The majority have an out of date view of thin client technology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    that knowledge of thin client technologies is frequently out of date.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.
