I'd look into them, but I don't need a Win Thin Client myself.

I did just set up a little Raspi with Raspbian (Wheezy I think) and
Leafnode, and it makes a nice little news spool.  Amazing i was previously
using much more serious hardware to do the same thing.  That computer kicked
the bucket last night (sniff sniff) so I hooked up the Raspberry and was
surprised by just how well it performed the same tasks, at a fraction of the
power draw.

This little boxes are so much fun.
