Dell Wyse and seamless boot...

Is it possible when you boot a Wyse client that you grab a xendesktop and have it seamless to where the end user doesn't realize the os they are looking at  is not on the end point?

If the Wyse client has the ThinOS operating system, it is possible to configure it to seamlessly login to the virtual desktop.

Hi Olivier... Is there a write up on this out there?

I found this one from spiceworks... but it was from 2012...

Is there a more recent one?
From the ThinOS INI guide (for the Dell Wyse 3040 product), you can find this in the manual:

Link to ThinOS INI refrence manual

SysMode={classic, vdi, VMware, Citrix}

SysMode — Specifies the Zero interface optimized for VDI or the Classic interface. This value will be remembered across reboots until changed. If not defined and an INI is present, Classic mode is the default. If no INI is present, VDI mode is the default.Classic mode has full taskbar, desktop and connection manager and is recommended for a terminal server environment and for backward compatibility with WTOS 6.x.VDI mode (Zero interface) has a new launchpad-style interface optimized for full-screen sessions that is Desktops. Everything you need is accessed through an always available overlay interface.VMware mode looks similar to VDI mode but only allows VMware horizon broker. Login window and wallpaper is specific to horizon.Citrix mode makes the client turn to Xenith. Xen.ini is prefered in the next reboot.

So yes, using the SysMode option you can turn the terminal into a VDI interface with just a login/password box directly connecting to the virtual desktop.
