Additional Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 considerations
Favorable considerations
Total cost of ownership
Access to computing for more students with fixed capital and operating budgets
Power consumption
Desire to consume less power relative to traditional desktops
Management
Increased manageability of technology in the classroom by teachers
Design Considerations
Mobility
WMS is designed for fixed locations, such as classrooms, labs, and libraries
App compat
Some legacy applications won’t run on WMS 2010
Device compat
Certain peripherals don’t have 64bit drivers
Storage
USB storage is visible across all users, not private per station
Performance
Top-end graphics performance, e.g. DX10 games, is not suited to WMS
Distance
WMS host PC serves clients <10m apart (USB length)
