The actual RDP part is plain old Microsoft RDP. The only thing that's different is that it incorporates Wyse TCX multimedia redirection. Wait til you see PCoIP - It makes RDP with MMR look like an old donkey :-)
How many users are you talking about? You don't want too many users per template, or read contention becomes an issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ prolly status quo......money down the drain. i think a large percentage of so called "teachers" are only semi literate themselves....the only advantage may be spell check..

Not a good time to be working for Jetstar in general. The article suggests that Jetstar expect you to own your own laptop. No doubt, Jetstar will "help" you buy one. If you have had a suitable private school education you will understand that they expect you to have your own computer and that they are entitled to earn a commission when you buy it .
OVer the last few years I have considered all sorts of architechtures for different apps, and they all have their place.
Take for example, ebay. web client for most users. However power sellers have the option of 3rd party smart clients. Have you tried using a web client on daily basis for business? Think apps like people soft.
Your accountant? As a business owner I use a web based accounting package. However my accountant would be unable to use it efficiently and instead uses a thick client.
However, if you own a large chain of businesses doing POS then a web client will not cut it and a thin client is a lot more suited.
This is why I refuse to buy into the deabates on thin v web v smart v thick client becase all have their place in modern computing.
Thin clients are an excuse for IT departments to party like its 1985, they have hated the users being able to do their own thing, now they are drawing it all back into the computer room again.
