  1. Re:Insightful? on HP Introduces Transmeta Thin Clients · · Score: 1

    Neoware uses the C3, and i'm certain that Wyse is also using the C3 - (i evaluated one of their boards).

    As for "using AMD's" - The Geode is now owned by AMD, and not National Semi - is that what your talking about, or are they using a true AMD processor?

    the transmeta's are the wave of the future... the energy consumption (and heat produced) is obscenely lower.

    which *profitable* thin client company are you talking about?

    cuz mate, i know that both #1, and #2 in this industry dont have a single Intel offering.

    IBM used to, but they discontinued their in-house line.

    msft's business model problem is that they never set up a services group that was profitable.

    the sun-ray's have had plenty of competition:

    dear jackass,

    a 233 Geode (old cyrix) is what your basic thin-client runs.
