You're sounding like a troll now. The phrase "modern personal desktop"
was
quite twice in the two-paragraph you replied to.
I have no idea what "modern personal desktop" means to you. For me, it
mostly means something that can run the NX client to connect to my
long-running desktop sessions on a few other machines.
Just install the server spin and be happy. What's wrong with
that?
I want desktop applications. I just don't want to be limited to one
user at a time running them, or forced to be at any particular location
relative to where they run, or to have to stay in one place after
starting a session.
