One would think so. However, Windows thin client hardware (which I assume
requires CITRIX) was on show at CEBIT 2012 from HP.

Although, they did also have Linux (Ubuntu with [closed source?] drivers to
support HP monitors and I guess other peripherals) thin clients.

Meanwhile, there is an alternative, who I came across at CEBIT a few years 
ago.:
> ThinLinX's Thin Client Terminals are more than a cost-effective alternative to standard PCs. End-users run their Windows? Desktops or Single Applications directly from Private or Public Cloud Servers, enabling centralised application management, network plug-and-play conveniences, higher security and reliability, and much lower IT support costs.

Server or a Microsoft? RemoteFX Desktop via Server2008 R2 or Windows Multipoint Server provides the same look and feel as a traditional standalone PC, but at a fraction of the purchase, maintenance and support cost. The Hot-e? Thin Client's are very low power devices consuming approximately three watts of power, they are totally silent and generate negligible heat.
