I have a client who uses Gotomypc to distribute computing services to his customer service reps, who work from home. In his house he has a file server and half a dozen client boxes. Each of his reps sit at their own computers at their homes with Gotomypc running, actually using one of the machines at their boss's house. Then the phone company is set up to round-robin his 800 number across all his employee's home numbers during business hours. Presto--instant distributed workforce.
The only part that doesn't scale is that stack of computers he has to manage in his office.
