According to Dino Dai Zovi, a popular security researcher, "the genius of this is that it's completely reusable. They have attacks that let them load chosen content to a chosen location with chosen permissions. That's completely game over."

I am looking for the day when that single box hosts so many connections with fully-featured GUIs. Joe Sixpack doesn't want to work with consoles.


Actually if you remote access a Unix or Linux server you can then use X (You can use x11vnc)

So yes if your Linux server or Unix server can handle it you could run 1000 copies of Gnome or KDE as users. Its how the Linux terminal server project works.

Oh and you don't have to pay for a ton of licenses to do that (Unlike you do in Windows)
