Ben;
What does it cost an organization, in man hours, to move a PC from its role as a Windows PC, into its role as a device in a LTS environment? What applications are then run in the LTS posture? Are the users working collaboratively in any of these apps. We're now in the area of hidden costs, including training, updating and maintenance. I've documented my X terminal cost completely, including setup, and guaranteed that the remote users are all working in a real-time environment of collaboration. Tell me about the apps and if there is any sense of multiuser benefit in them. What happens when a PC fails? Who prepares a PC for LTS and how long does it take? There cannot be a presumption that nobody has to do anything, that nobody's time costs anything and that every PC can be made useful in a LTS context without any analysis of its resources & unique hardware makeup.
