I understand the thin clients don't have much in the way of
installed software or even a hard drive, so what does
terminal server give you that regular old Windows Server
doesn't ?

I guess the question is, "why one instead of the other" ???

Even from their web site(CLI), I don't get the impression
that it is really required.

I "assume" you only need Terminal Server if you plan on
letting the users access "any" windows apps while using
the thin client.

I liken Windows Terminal Server to having a twinax card in your i5. Sure, Windows Server 2003 will let fat clients access data, applications, etc, quite well. However to have thin clients run these same things often requires Terminal Server. Understand? These thin clients are more like terminals then they are full PC's or fat clients.
