Chip PC Thin Clients Now VMware-Ready Certified:

Nice to see Jim Crocco as General Manager, Chip PC, Americas. I had the opportunity to work with Jim's server based computing company Netier almost 10 years ago before they merged with Wyse. He and his staff jumped into a very earlier adapter program to enable WiFi in embedded NT. We asked them on a Friday if they thought they could do it. The OS arrived Monday AM by courier. It worked!!!

This company also makes the Jack PC. Fits in a junction box and has POE.

Here is the press release:
