Microsoft preps StartKey -- Windows on a Stick
Microsoft is working on turning USB-based flash drives into a “Windows companion” — a new product known as “StartKey” — that will allow users to carry their Windows and Windows Live settings with them.
StartKey isn’t just for USB sticks; it also will work on other flash-storage devices, like SD memory cards. Microsoft is looking to turn these intelligent storage devices portable “computing companions” for users in both developed and emerging markets, with availability (at least in beta form) likely before the end of this year, according to sources who asked not to be named.

In Our Opinion: Multiplexed Users on Windows XP and Server
The ongoing MS licensing dilemma for multi-user terminal providers (such as Ncomputing) took a new turn in January with written indication from MS that license terms do not permit multiple users under desktop systems (ie XP Pro).
Given the lackluster inroads Vista has made it is is also notable that it is Vista which is specifically referred to.
Still, it would seem with major expansion of Linux and other avenues that Microsoft somehow coming to terms with this is in their best interest. It's not often a major footprint is there for the taking (ie requiring just formulating license terms) especially as the market looks to Microsoft to capitalize and develop new markets.
Probably the first would be in the terminal server/winserver implementation but XP Pro would start a flood.

Intel Study: Interestingly, the study found that the Terminal Services model isn't being newly adopted by companies at nearly the clip that other, newer models are. While 64 percent of respondents said their companies have deployed Terminal Services in some capacity, just an additional 2 percent reported plans to deploy within the next two years. That 3 percent growth rate is dwarfed by a 27 percent anticipated growth rate for the OS Streaming (15 percent current deployment to 19 percent within two years) and Blade PC (26 percent to 33 percent) models; 21 percent growth for Desktop Virtualization (39 percent to 47 percent); and 20 percent for Application Streaming (30 percent to 36 percent).

Coding -- stateful clients and comparison of adobe flex, google web tool and OpenLazlo
Kevin Whinnery blog -- The defining characteristic of any RIA is that it has a stateful client that is (or should be) platform and browser independent. With the advent of new RIA platforms like Flex, GWT, and OpenLaszlo, developers now have all the reach of a traditional thin-client web application with many of the useful characteristics of thick-client applications, such as the ability to maintain state on the client. Is there a clear winner of the three, one toolkit that developers should focus on at the expense of the others?

Ultra-Thin Client from Brits
 Cool unit...The Ndiyo Nivo (network in, video out) client contains no local storage capacity, minimal connectivity and minimal on board processing power. The unit itself takes the form of a sturdy looking, metal box with connector ports distributed on either end. VGA on one end and keyboard, mouse, Ethernet, and power on the other end.

Citrix Buys Xensource
From Charles Aunger -- Well it has been a rumour for days / weeks and today it's confirmed. Citrix are to acquire Xensource.
It was only really a matter of time. In the past VMware has started to play in to Citrix's Customer field of trying to deliver Virtual Desktops and there is quite a buzz out there about it. Quite a few senior ex Citrix executives now work at VMware and with the coming of Microsoft Windows 2008 with it's added features Citrix needs to think about strengthen it's position and friends in the market place.

Perspective - Thin-Client Boom, Finally?
Okay here they come...Momentum watchers are beginning to come out of the bushes with the "Ok, maybe its time has come" projection. We personally believe that the best thing to ever happen to the thin-client market is Vista. Feb2008 will be one of the first demarcation lines in the battle (ie I can't buy XP Pro OEM anymore...).
Anyway, nice article on NY Times blog (Wyse also believes Vista is major catalyst...).
