Wyse Technology on Wednesday introduced a series of Wi-Fi enabled thin clients, including models based on the embedded operating systems including Microsoft Windows CE5, Windows XP embedded, and Linux.

The line is compatible with Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix Presentation Server, VMware VDI and Wyse Device Manager, Wyse said.

The new family is likely to restart discussions over the so-called Google Appliance PC. Earlier this year, Wyse was the subject of industry rumors concerning the possibility that it would supply a Google-branded PC. http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6016960-2.html Google discounted the chatter, but wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility that there would be a Google PC someday.

The new Wyse machines provide interoperability and support for WPA and WPA2 for use the 802.1x, Wyse said, noting that those protocols support WEP, EAP, RC4 and TKIP.
