  • New HP all-in-one thin client powers both the system and monitor via PoE! (with video demo)

    One of the coolest things at Citrix Synergy last week was a new all-in-one thin client from HP . ("All-in-one" means that the monitor and thin client are integrated into a single unit.) Ordinarily I don't get too excited about thin clients, and all-in...

  • Dell plans to acquire Wyse. (It's about time!)

    Dell announced today that they're planning to Acquire Wyse . (This is not an April fool's joke.) This is a deal that totally makes sense and something that we've been talking about / wanting to see for years. HP bought thin client maker Neoware back in...

  • Oracle VDI gets the Geek Week treatment...finally!

    It's been a while since we had a "Sun Ray = the Best Way" war on BrianMadden.com, but our most tenured readers will remember the small but vocal group of supporters that Sun Ray terminals and Sun/Oracle VDI have. The truth is, when it was a Sun solution...

  • Brian & Gabe LIVE #17: The gang discussed OnLive licensing, RemoteFX on Windows 8, and why Brian hates Microsoft.

    For this week's Brian & Gabe (& Jack) LIVE, we decided to push the show back a few hours to give the West Coast folks a fighting chance to catch it live. (That's code for saying that Brian & Jack felt that they would be more interesting if...

  • Why thin clients and zero clients haven't lived up to the "last PC you'll ever buy" hype. (Part 1 of 2)

    I've been collecting thoughts on this blog article for a few weeks now. It seems this was quite timely given Brian & Gabe's recent interview with Tom Flynn from HP where they talked about thin clients, zero clients, etc. Here are my thoughts on the...

  • If Apple allows iOS apps on Apple TV, will that be the ultimate thin client for only $99?

    We've all heard of the Apple TV. Some love it, some hate it, and the reasons for that are pretty well documented . The thing is, most of those opinions all pertain to its ability as a home theater device and not much else. Still, it's hard to look at...

  • Is Oracle committed to VDI? Let's look at their current strategy.

    A few weeks ago, Jack and I drove down to Oracle to visit their desktop virtualization team. This meeting was a long time coming, as I'd been criticized in the past for not having a good understanding of Sun's offerings for years, and just as we were...

  • Can Microsoft SA be a cheaper option to VDA for thin clients? If the stars align, maybe...

    Somehow, both Brian and I were on a licensing kick this week, and I was surprised to see his article yesterday about Windows Server 2008 as a way of skirting the SA/VDA requirement at the same time I was knee-deep in Microsoft licensing fun. For me, it...

  • HP's got a zero client...or do they? Either way, it's cool.

    Last week at BriForum, HP caught my eye a couple of times. First, they had a huge booth with what looked to be an aircraft simulator (which you can buy yourself for $2800). By the time I got to the booth on Thursday it was gone, but it looked like it...
