We use Windows Terminal Server as a thin client to operate our three main software applications: Microsoft Office, QuickBooks and GoldMine, a customer relationship management program.
"An Ubuntu tablet is a secure thin client that can be managed with the same tools as any Ubuntu server or desktop, " said Stephane Verdy, who leads enterprise desktop and thin client products at Canonical.
The big idea, just like with any sort of thin client computer, is that the tablet connects back to a server where all the heavy lifting is done and all sensitive data is stored.
