What are the implications of thin and fat clients for a server?
Ychen99
"Fat" clients already have their software (OS, apps, etc.) usually available to them. A "thin" client does not, and therefore has to download the software from a server.
The net effect would cause the server to be busier (depending on the number of thin clients making requests). It may also take several attempts to successfully download the software depending on network quality.

Client and server operating system?
Basically the difference is how it's intended to be used. For instance, a client OS is optimized to give higher priority to client programs such as games, word processors, internet browsers, etc where a server would be optimized to run processes that the client systems would connect to and get information from such as email server programs, web server programs, databases, etc. However, there are a lot of similarities between the two and it is possible for a client OS to act as a server for some functions and vice versa.
What is thin client and fat client and describe the difference between thin client and fat clent?
The main difference between thin and fat client systems has to do with how much processing is done on the desktop vs. on a server, and, in essence, how your company wishes to deploy computer and network resources. In a fat client system, a significant amount of processing is done on the client or desktop system, while relatively little is done on the server. This setup requires expensive desktop systems on every user's desk, and relatively little in the way of high-end networking or server systems, as they perform less of the overall processing than the desktop system. Conversely, thin client systems can be as thin as a simple browser interface running on a relatively low-end PC: in this case the bulk of the processing is done elsewhere, and that means you'll need a lot of network resources and more robust server technology than you would need in a fat client system. There are a few dozen other pros and cons for each approach, though to be frank most of the industry has moved largely in favor of thin client systems in the last decade, primarily because thin client systems can support on-demand and other Internet-based applications with relatively little administrative or technical support. If you want to operate in a thin client environment, you'll need to make sure that your network resources are extremely robust and have guaranteed uptime: thin clients can't do a lot of work when the network is down.
