1. SunRay units requires NO network configuration. Users just plug the unit into the network, power the unit on, and the unit auto-configures (via DHCP?). Truely plug-n-play!
2. SunRay's SmartCard support allows user's desktop to move with the SmartCard. In a demo, while the user was logged into a session, the SmartCard was removed and the SmartCard was inserted into ANOTHER SunRay. The desktop session appeared INSTANTLY in EXACT same state as the original SunRay (e.g. sound volume, cursor position, and Quake running). Very impressive.
3. Desktop session survives power-cycle. In a demo, I saw of SunRay power-cycled while connected to a desktop session and the unit immediately displayed the original desktop session after the boot process finished (in about 15 seconds).
