About question 1:
1 Sun called in (year?) the Sun Ray device a thin client. There is no
OS, and no rendering on the Sun Ray.
The processing and rendering takes place on a server which can have an
(RDP) connection to a (Windows terminal) server.
2 In the following years many venders brought diskless mini-pc's to
the market and called these devices thin clients as well. They have an
OS, connect to a (Windows terminal) server and render images on a local
grahpics board.
3 In (year?)Sun renamed their Sun Ray device into ultra thin client
In Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_client>we ca read:
The term /thin client/ was coined in 1993 by Tim Negris, VP of Server
Marketing at Oracle Corp. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corp.>,
while working with company founder Larry Ellison
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison> on the launch of Oracle 7
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_database>.
can someone clarify?
