This is very very bad.
Here are some statements that are not true in our environment, where wer are 
using RS 7.5, Mid-tier, ITSM 7.5.1:

>I’ve heard that use of a thick client is the only way to get good performance. 
>What will >happen to performance if I can’t use the Remedy User client anymore?
>o Due to advances in web technologies, especially in the area of JavaScript 
>engines, the >performance of the web client in AR System 7.5.00 running in a 
>modern browser equals or >exceeds the performance of BMC Remedy User. BMC 
>expects, therefore, that any future client >will meet or exceed any 
>performance characteristics of the existing Remedy User client.

THIS IS NOT TRUE. The Remedy user tool 7.5 performs faster than mid-tier 
7.5/browser. Granted IE 7.x is a piece of crap, so that's a big part of the 
problem; However, the Remedy fat client still outperforms even Firefox 3.x.

Pre-caching in ITSM 7.5.1 and Mid-Tier 7.5 is a major headache and it is buggy. 


>Will I lose any functionality using the new client as compared to my use of 
>Remedy User client?
>No. The future client provided will enable full usability of AR System or 
>applications built >on AR System. The manner in which such usability is 
>provided may change (e.g. OLE/DDE are not >available on web-based clients and 
>report macros are accomplished through saved searches) but >full functionality 
>will be provided.

This is not true. For instance, there are no Recent Searches or My Searches on 
the mid-tier
