Why is it FAT client? Why couldn't it be Chubby Client or Portly Client or even Big Boned Client? :) Tauf Chowdhury Analyst, Service Management Office: 631.858.7765 Mobile:646.483.2779 -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Meyer, Jennifer L Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 5:34 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive? I expect most of the folks who don't move up to 7.5 will have to refer to the Admin Tool as the "True Windows Administration Tool" to differentiate it from the "Developer Studio." I couldn't resist....

In case you run into it, you'll also see folks use "WAT" for Windows Administration Tool. Now that it's called "Developer Studio", that acronym will most likely fade away. -David J.

Jennifer, The desktop client has been referred to by many names over the years. WUT is actually an old name that has been around for a long time. Probably was used much more in the past than fat/thin client. ------Original Message------ From: Meyer, Jennifer L To: Arslist ReplyTo: Arslist Subject: Etiquette Question: Is Fat Client offensive? Sent: Apr 16, 2009 4:53 PM ** I've suddenly realized that "WUT" stands for "windows user tool." When did we stop saying "fat client" and "thin client" or "mid tier?" Are "fat" and ""thin" outmoded with today's networking capabilities, or simply offensive with today's caloric-challenged society? Someone please answer definitively, because "WUT" threw me for a loop for a couple of weeks, and I felt really dumb. I'm seriously confused at the loss of the fat client.
