If your definition of thin is
1. No client side installation whatsoever (not even an EXE).
2. Can run over slow, unreliable networks.
3. Can run on relatively poorly spec clients
Yourv'e been reading too many Citrix Sales Brochures
Re your points
1. Thats not thin thats Anorexic (Even the Citrix Client has an EXE)
2. Has nothing to do with the arguement!
3. Is as a result of being Thin not a definition of it!
Thin vs Fat client relates to the relative positioning of the functionality
of the whole system
Citrix is indeed a very thin client - Client/Server Apps tend to be fat - 3
tier CS Thin (You could make a 3 tier system fat by positioning the middle
tier at the client but I don't see the point)
ADO is simply an access method and as such doesn't even really qualify as a
client
