At my office, everyone has an 8-core desktop.
At home, people tend to have single-socket, quad-core desktops.
Laptops are mostly dual-core, although the last two guys who bought one got quad-core, 17" monsters.
So, I think Ingo was reasonable in his choice of platform.

I want to live at your home. We've bought 4 new home PCs in the past two years, including one just a month ago. They're all dual cores. Even my brand new laptop is dual core.
