Rakesh, I am also quite new to the topic because i have no experience with thin client what so ever. But i can tell you what it is in terms of technical or layman (thankachen style).
Lets assume you are in a railway station where we have a computer to check train timings, coach numbers etc (like tvm or kochi), these computers may not have a hard disk or super ram or even a great processor. But they work fast in telling you what is what. This is why thin clients are mostly used. What a thin client does is it works like a window to a server or a good -normal - or even super computer which tells it what to do and how to work. In more thankachen terms, a computer with less brain with strong hold. Like Uruvashi in *Sakudumbam Shyamala. *അവര് പറയുന്നു ഞാന് ചെയുന്നു. Why is it good? Well thin clients can be old computers, or cheep computer because they donot have to be really great to work. Why is it bad? Thin clients depend on the Server or Fat computers to work. If the network fails then thin clients are useless. They may even "hang" Where is it useful? internet centers, libraries, Information centers , etc where data storage and computational facility can be limited. Where is it really stupid to put? At work, because if the client is too thin, and the connection is lost, all the work you did goes lost. Chrome OS may act like a thin client given you store everything on google server. Advantage: Assume you are in a network ready place, then thin clients are the best things to be working with. -Read more in wikipedia -- Check this on wikipedia : http://gohttp://goo.gl/Ld09Ro.gl/Ld09Ro.gl/Ld09R<http://goo.gl/Ld09R> Subin -- "Freedom is the only law".
