I didn't mean to imply that you use a multi-seat computer to get to a desktop served by a remote machine, though you could certainly do that if you wanted. Everyone still needs a machine to function as an endpoint for the remote desktop to be delivered to, though. You use a multi-seat computer when you don't have enough computers to give everyone their own machine. Like William Gibson said, "The future is already here - it's just not evenly distributed." I have enough computers that I could make furniture out of them, but I'm sure there's some cash-strapped school district using donated hardware that would jump at the chance to have their computer lab serve ten students at a time instead of five. -- -Chris
