What this looks like is more of a glorified/re-worked remote desktop client paired with individual virtual machines on a server. LTSP seems to be (at first glance anyway) much different in that you're using *one* operating system/server install with many client connections via X11, rather than a single virtual machine for each connection hosted on a server. Sounds neat, but much different than LTSP to me. LTSP sticks more to the true multiuser functionality and centralized administration of *nix boxen.
Of course I could be totally off base.
