The alternative I can think of would be a simple X Terminal, I like X Terminals as they work on pretty much every UNIX ever, and some other OS like OpenVMS. I have had trouble with them though, compared to Sun Rays with fonts, as the X Terminal itself draws text, not just draw an image like the Sun Ray does.
X Terminals are cool, but Sun Rays seem better to me. I think the one VM per user is a colossal waste of resources, but I guess that's in the interests of the company selling you servers.
