HP is currently touting its new Consolidated Client Infrastructure (CCI) as a viable alternative to the traditional corporate PC concept. And it actually sounds logical, which is quite astonishing. [Thanks Mike!]

‘The new solution combines thin client computing with rack-mounted blade PCs …when the user logs on at any CCI thin client in the company, the system assigns that user an available blade PC, loads the user�s settings and preferences and makes available all the desktop applications the user would normally use…one of the key differences between HP�s CCI concept and the �network computer� idea that gained popularity during the 1990s is that the blade system enables the use of standard, off-the-shelf desktop PC applications and peripherals
