All I use now is a chromebook logged into a terminal server, but it's not without problems. Seems you have to have a computer with few extensions loaded to avoid freezing.
Absolutely! Chromebooks rock! I picked up a 15" ASUS with 1920x1080, 2Gb, 16 Gb SSD, refurb ~$150, and it is pretty much the perfect Net Computer we've been promised for a decade or more. With that as a front end, and Chromecast hooked up to the TV as the back end, it's a pretty good little browser and entertainment center, decent webmail interface, etc.
However, when you're dealing with Windows, locally or remote, you're dealing with all the joy MS packed into it: security flaws, unsafe software, shaky updates, 32-/64-bit incompatibilities, weird network behavior, etc.
