WinXP works stable too.
How much does it cost? We use Intel Atoms. We can get Atom systems at Php 6,000.00/pc (with no hdrive). The added benefit is that we can opt to add a hard drive and we can use it as a stand alone PC. We use PXE booting + Remote X Windows + VIrtual Machines = Thin clients displaying whatever OS the user wants.
