Make notice that there are also full distributions being created just for 
this purpose. I have meet alot of people who are scared of thin clients. 
While they make sense cost wise for some reason people still dont trust 
the reliability of them. One guy told me well the problem is this. Now 
instead of one persons machine going down you worry about the server going 
down and everyone not being productive.

Look at Blue Linux and Debian Jr. as full distributions, just a thought i 
know its a quote but this whole release seems one sided. Maybe make up a 
quick couple of questions to ask a few people and put together a paragraph 
of quotes or something of this nature. Just my 2 cents.
