Looking further down the thread, looks like the client with with a Microsoft
solution, owell.

I'll also note that FOG is more akin to maybe Novell or something where
it'll push the entire 'hard drive image' to the client on boot up.  This
means a copy of the OS is moved to that system.
With thinclient and other similar linux projects in that vein -- they are
indeed trying to make a 'thin client'.  The booting computer loads an ultra
tiny OS and then a RDP/VNC/VMWARE/etc client that connects to a bigger
backend server doing the work.
Differences between the concepts are quite large :)
