In our case, they're all using zero clients and virtual desktops.  However, it's exactly the kind of setup where a multi-seat computer might make sense for other companies or schools that don't have our virtualization expertise.

Being able to grab your existing desktop remotely with all open

your VM host some other way if you aren't at the special desktop?
