Not sure if a thin client or a PC is right for you? Everybody likes a head-to-head challenge between the top two contenders. Pepsi versus Coke, Ali versus Frazier, Ford versus Chevy--these are the classic mano a mano showdowns that capture our imaginations and inflame our partisan emotions. When it's all over, only one of the combatants can emerge victorious, while the other is relegated to the ignominy of second place. It was in the spirit of direct competition that Wyse Technology conducted the "Winterm Challenge," a technological shoot-out between the thin-client computing architecture and the traditional "fat client" desktop PC.
