What they told me is that SPICE is snappier over a LAN than RDP, but that RDP still works better over a WAN link. But the idea is that you should just move your whole desktop guest to a server on your LAN instead.

Are they targeting small to medium business who typically keep their hardware in datacenters?

Virtualizing desktops is a much more difficult problem than servers as they typically have a much more predictable workload. Would be very curious to see how this scales on multi-core cpus.

Employee workstations have predictable workload too: relatively low loads during the day, with a period of high load during the lunch hour.

The workloads of managers' and executives' workstations can be a little harder to predict.
