Lots of users just want to run Safari, MS Word and
Finder, just the way they have been doing all their lives
Then just have them buy a Mac, run OS X, and mount a common file
system from a central server and run Safari, MS Word, Finder, etc...
locally.
If you want to separate the "heavy lifting" onto a central, souped up
server, just split your application into a client and server, and use
DO to connect the two (since the bandwidth for DO is probably going
to be less than screens would).
And FWIW, this has nothing to do with "True multiuser" but rather
distributed window sever/clients (since you can already do everything
you described for CLI based apps via SSH, and the last time I tried
it, you could connect clients on an OS X machine with remote XTerm
servers just fine). It would be like saying that no computers before
the invention of XWindows was "true multiuser".
