San Jose, CA – 2003/05/27 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing, today introduced the fastest, most expandable flat-panel Winterm available with Microsoft's Windows XP Embedded operating system. The sleek, attractive Wyse® Winterm™ 9650XE thin client combines the security, manageability, affordability and reliability of all Wyse thin clients, with the benefits of Windows XP Embedded's PC-like functionality that includes support for rich internet browsing, local applications and access to thousands of peripheral drivers. The compact flat-panel chassis fits neatly into environments where space is at a premium, such as call centers and retail environments.

While demand for this product has come from all types of companies and industries, there has been particular interest where heightened security and reliability are important, such as hospital nurse stations and retail point-of-sale counters. Additionally, the flat panel's attractive 15-inch LCD screen and black and silver case has a sleek, modern look that makes a strong image statement at locations such as reception areas and front desks in hotels.

"For more than seven years, Wyse has delivered thin-client and server-centic computing products that have consistently led the industry in performance and reliability and in chassis that best suit our customers' particular computing environments," said Brad Rowland, director of product management for Wyse Technology. "This new Wyse flat-panel offering is an example of how we maintain this leadership - it's by delivering innovative products that meet our customers' evolving needs. Many businesses demand a PC-like user interface, yet require thin-client security and reliability with the aesthetics that best complement their professional setting. The Winterm 9650XE delivers this combination with the flexibility of the Windows XP Embedded operating system, in a sleek package that enhances any environment."

The Winterm 9650XE is a flexible platform that can be expanded to support virtually any office peripheral a business may need. Through its Windows XP Embedded operating system, the Winterm 9650XE delivers significant strategic business benefits for enterprises with specific advantages that include:
