Mulit-user box..
I always hear the whole multiuser thing as a strength, but on a desktop who cares? a computer can have only one keyboard monitor and mouse, so it doesn't do a thing for them.

Funny thing about that... Last computer show, I saw one vendor with a two user box. Didn't quite get all the specs, but apparently, it has one motherboard, but has connections for two keyboards, two mice, and two VGA ports. It came in both AMD and Inhell flavors.

No idea what kind of performance you can expect out of this setup - but it could be ok for simple tasks like e-mail, web surfing, etc... but I doubt it would be much good for highly intensive apps like hard core gaming given it had only a single, single core processor on board.

There wasn't much in the way of details as to what OSs it supported or required.
