What is the fundamental difference between a fat-client and a thin-client approach to client–server systems architectures?

What will be an ideal response?


In a fat-client system, some of the application processing is carried out on the client
whereas in a thin client system only the user interface is displayed on the client and
all of the application processing is carried out on the server. However, modern web
browsers are all javascript enabled which means that code can be downloaded from
the web page on the server and executed within the client browser. This means that
some of the functionality of fat clients can be replicated without the need to install
software on the client system.
