Not everyone. But those who need it, really need it. I have done Windows
development on machines that were too noisy to have in an office
environment, before Windows had Remote Desktop. Walking back and forth to
the machine that had my e-mail on it was a ludicrous waste of time. I'm
not interested in repeating the experience.
