CRN's Ed Moltzen writes up Sun comments on Google "thin client" and what is and isn't a thin client in the thin client computing world.

NEC has come out with some new thin clients which offer an interesting twist to the paradigm. Using it's own NetClient system-on-a-chip solution one of the interesting features it can offer is IP Telephony.
The solution uses VMware's virtualisation software to create a virtual Windows PC environment for each user on the server, rather than more traditional shared user space found in other thin client solutions.
