Wyse WinTerm (very thin Windows client)

I've been reading about Wyse's WinTerm terminals that could offer
a much less expensive way to offer large numbers of Windows tubes
at a minimal cost.

If you are not familiar with this approach, apparently a Windows NT
Server is used to actually does the work of these terminals and all
screen paints are passed out to these dialup or Ethernet connected 
machines.  The client machines have little more than a screen, a 
keyboard and a mouse.  Users inputsuch as mouse clicks and keyboard 
entries are passed back to the  server which does all the work for
the end user.

Wyse hypes this as less expensive, more secure and easier to manage
than individual workstations.

Has anyone experimented with this technology?
