XPe is basically a componentized version of XP Pro. We've been doing
domain integration on XPe on the HP thins from the start.

How does XPe do with domain interaction?

Dell's FX160 "Tiny Desktop" (I call it a thin client) is available with
XPe or XP Pro. It's also based on the Atom.

 

XP Pro for nonprofits is $50 or so.

I've found the following:

 

Planar PT1510MX Touch Screen Monitor --- $339.99 (Tiger Direct)

ASUS Eee Box w/ XP Home and 1.6 Atom(fanless is cool) --- $350 (CompUSA)

Windows XP Pro (AD integration) $??? (help me out here!)

 

-OR-

 

Cybernet 17" Touch Screen $1,109 base ($1,215 w/XP Pro OS & Pentium D
1.8)

 

If XP Pro is less than $300 I've got an all-in-one for less than $1k.
The Cybernet is the best deal I could find on a configured all-in-one.
It has a 17 in. screen and I would prefer a 15 in.

 

This seems cost comparable to thin client and TS backend. Bring on the
heavy hitters.
