Hmmmm . . . Let's see . . . not familiar with PCoIP but I'll take a stab at it: * Ease of management (as you stated) * Only 4watts of power - so very "green" * No moving parts like fans & HDD, so less to break * Desktop PC still runs an OS and therefore is susceptible to Malware, viruses, etc. (back to ease of management) What about security? Is a Sun ray more secure? Am I on the right track?
