Linux Terminal Server?

Ok, another article about it.

This may be ok for a school or someone really trying to save as much money as they can. But I cannot see, at this particular moment in time, why a company would use such solution.

First of all we are still to see the ‘killer’ client application for Linux. Add to that their Office ‘compatible’ solutions like OpenOffice for example, are NOT that compatible at all; I have tried many documents ranging from simple to complex word formatted docs and crazy Excel spreadsheets with macros and no, they do NOT work properly when opened by any of the Linux ‘office-compatible’ apps I tried.

So with no Office, no support for Windows Mobile devices and still waiting for the killer app, why go for a Linux Terminal Server?

Money maybe?
