We've been testing out one of the FX100 boxes. It is a rebranded DevonIT box. Basically, a VMware view client without an operating system.
So, you take this box and plug two monitors, keyboard, mouse, network cable, speakers, USB devices into it and it connects all of that to your virtual PC running on a beast of a server back in the data center.
That box is specifically for virtual environments, and it does what it does very well. PCoIP is worlds better than anything RDP-based, and once a few kinks get worked out it will be king of the virtual client marketplace.
And, one of the previous posters is right - having a fully virtualized desktop environment is incredible, not only for what it gives the users, but just that the technology exists at all.
The Rip is the latest addition to the Boogie eWriter line, devices that let you scribble notes and drawings and can be wiped away with the press of a button.
