Who made the tests?Who made the tests?
• One of the world leaders in Thin-client technologies – Telecomputing from Sweden.
• Doing the most in-depth thin-client market review and testing for the second time. Primary customer is the Swedish Government.
• 8 Leading thin-client vendors participated this year
• Over 25 different products that were tested.

Evaluation Fundamental Assumptions:Evaluation Fundamental Assumptions:
• Remote management functionality is by far the most important consideration
• Hardware performance and functionality is not significant. Only under-performed devices were strongly affected.
• Price is not critical (all similar anyway)
• Equal heavy weight for ICA and RDP
• Significant weight for in-service upgrade and recovery
• Local desktop becomes an important aspect
• Local browser and media player received medium weight (though portal usage has higher value)

ConclusionsConclusions
• Chip PC thin-clients got the highest score in every category among all other vendors
• Chip PC presented the largest set of client and remote functionality among all products and vendors.
• Chip PC thin-clients also scored best results among the more expensive groups of Linux and XP embedded products.
• Chip PC’s management suite – the Xcalibur 3.65 is by far the best thin-clients management suite.
