I am at a law firm that uses a remote system like that. Have definitely gone two Citrix’s deep for some things, so I feel this.

Honestly, though, it’s better than the laptop the other firms have given me. One took over 10 minutes to boot, iirc. It wasn’t just the hardware, there was just so much … stuff, multiple layers of antivirus seemingly hooking all of the system calls and fighting with each other, and a document management system with blocking I/O everywhere that was somehow so embedded in Windows that it could seem to freeze the whole system.

The thin client setup may have latency, but at least it is convenient and it gets there eventually. Though I would swear it’s getting slower, or maybe my patience is waning.
