To be honest, I've had the best luck with microsoft terminal services in so far as the thin client area goes - I use my XO day to day with my school's remote desktop server and it works flawlessly - the fonts are a bit tiny, but it works with no noticeable speed difference between it and a desktop. Why wasn't this approach considered instead of putting XP on XOs?
