This would be useful in places with notoriously bad internet connections. When I was in China a couple years ago, even getting a reliable connection was a stretch, let alone being able to use it for something other than transfer of small plaintext.

I set up a box back at home and was able to use my 60MB connection by just transferring I/O via something like VNC or LogMeIn. I can see this being valuable for users in countries with subpar internet connectivity.

Thanks for the typo catch... Great use-case btw, it's surprising how well virtual desktops can perform on slow connections. I'm from the east coast but work in Mountain View now and I stream my desktop from Virginia everyday for work. Right now in fact haha.
