We're proud to announce the release of the next generation of our multiseat solution which turns one Linux computer into multiple high performance independent computer stations -- using the HP t200 thin client. The HP t200 is the world's lowest cost thin client device, with a $99 price tag that includes keyboard and mouse. The HP t200 provides the capability to connect multiple stations to a single host PC, such as the HP ms6200, directly over USB for close proximity computing environments without the need for a LAN. The versatile HP t200 also allows for installation of computer stations in multiple rooms using a single host PC with each station connected over Ethernet.

 In the words of our President, Tim Griffin:

"The HP t200 thin client combined with Userful MultiSeat software provides the highest performance shared computing solution available on the market today. The HP t200's support of both Ethernet and USB provides the flexibility to position stations far away from the host computer, or operate without a LAN, making it a very compelling solution for many use cases."
