> they could just allocate a new machine, and work entirely out of a data center. Not really, you still have to manage endpoints, and they still have peripherals. One of the big advantages to systems like this is access to high-performance compute, but generally you'll want good displays and peripherals to interface with machines like that. With a remoting system, you also need to make sure that your network performs well enough not to cause strain for your workers. All that is not to say that it's exactly the same workload, but it may not be as major of an improvement in administrative complexity as it seems at first blush.
