I really like thin clients, but it seems like a solution that really lost traction. I remember using SunRay terminals, with 50 to 100 people on a single Sun server and it just worked.

Jump to today: Microsoft Terminal Server is pretty much what people expect when talking thin clients/remote desktop and it's just no nowhere near as good as the Solaris solutions back in the early 2000s. I really miss those "old" Unix solutions, it just worked.
