How can you know? Maybe you want to say, that there exists at least one person with a view different from mine ... ? > With t1000 at a 1gig the desktop is slow, but its slow for 1 user as it > is for 20 users. In practice it will even be a bit slower per user, when you have #cores < #users <= #threads such as 8<20<32 (due to misc. implementation related limitations of the outdated T1 [see ElReg for articles with comments about different views regarding that]). However, this way or that way, the T1000 makes a good "feeled" Desktop box, too. Of course it depends on what you want to do, and on how you define "Desktop computing". If you count concurrently running 5 compiles at once to it (hour-long stuff like Xorg, OS/Net, Qt/KDE, Gnome/JDS, SFW), maybe while watching the most recent war propaganda news via Flash9-plugin on www.reuters.com, editing 80 src files in a myriad of gedit tabs etc., then you may find the T1000 being very useful for these purposes. Desktop computing: IMO the T1000 is a good choice.
