true, and i agree with you, for ppl who have Linux, but for the majority
of
users who have windows based computers I was just pointing out it's
been
around for years as well :o)

Like I said I have an Epod connecting to both Win2K and XP Pro, it's
about
as low power consumtion touch screen device as I've seen, I wasn't
suggesting wireless lappys for control panels, :o),  the point is as
long as
you can get a client for the OS you are running on whatever device you
can
connect to a TS based server, be it Windows or Linux.

Again im not disagreeing with your points, Im just standing up for the
Windows Terminal services side, because I still think loading win4lin on
top
of linux TS is still a bit mad, just to run a windows app at the end of
it
;o)
