A potential client of mine uses Citrix and is very happy with it. He said they basically wipe/replace the image daily. I guess that way they don't have to worry about viruses? If I were to develop a desktop app for them, I'd have to consider how to upgrade it easily. He said updating/creating the image is usually painful and takes a long time.

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.

We STILL have about half our machines at work and my personal laptop, that won't reboot properly after some updates. Get the black screen with the spinning white dots forever. The only common thing between them is they are all Dells.
Microsoft is really beginning to bug me (more so now then ever!). We have been considering ChromeBoxes and remote desktop into a Windows server, but even that would require massive change. We are heavily dependent on Excel automation for lots of things we do.

Windows Automatic Updates. Just Say No. (TM)
And as a double-bonus, if you had any updates hidden, say because they corrupted your machine, the cumulative update un-hid them so they get applied and, *boom*.
How can you not love the company that does this?
