Rick,
I haven’t found any more detail information about Net2Display, do you have any links that might show an implementation or at least the planned feature set and performance characteristics?

Hi Jim,
Panologic and also Teradici have a hardware remoting protocol that has completely transparent hardware (graphics, keyboard/mouse, USB etc) "redirection". This means that multimedia performance and just about everything else will be as good as on a PC, at least for LAN-based thin clients. The good news for hardware manufacturers is that the "back-end" systems are blade PCs.
The largest single drawback with a Panalogic/Teradici type solution is the hardware support required at both ends, and the fact that the protocol is proprietary.
Remote/WAN access is still going to be a problem with stuff like latency etc but that may very well be handled by the new VESA Net2Display protocol which will handle LAN clients as well. If Net2Display takes off, the relevance of RDP and ICA could become questionable. Since Teradici are heavily involved with Net2Display, it's probably a good guess that they will soon have Net2Display support in their hardware. That makes it non-proprietary and may well point to the future of thin clients.
regards,
Rick
