Comparing thick and thin clients

Mike

Hi everyone,

I need to supply some documentation and comparison between a Windows-based (thick) client and a Web-based (thin) client. I know that it really depends on the situation and requirements, but I was wondering whether there are documents that do a generic comparison between the two clients. Any link to articles/others will be really helpful.

Thanks.
Mike

Why not read the wiki on these and see if you can clarify your question
better.
