The Swedish IDG magazine Techworld recently had a review of Thinstation (in Swedish). They were fairly happy about Thinstation and thought TS-O-Matic was "almost painfully simple", if my Swedish understanding is correct ;-) Final rating: PRO: "Easy installation, great flexibility". CON: "Nothing in particular".

Our sponsor 2X has good news again:
Up until now, investing in an application publishing solution such as Citrix was too costly for most companies. The release of 2X ApplicationServer v.4 is set to change this by providing a Citrix alternative at a fraction of the price.
2X ApplicationServer v.4, allows seamless publishing of Windows applications on remote desktops, significantly reducing administration overheads and security risks. The new version adds integrated load balancing, Linux & Mac client support, support for server farms, SSL tunneling and more.// Read more about ApplicationServer on 2X's home page. Naturally Thinstation 2.2 has a 2X client as we support any major application!
