I am already using PVE clients for virtual desktop at work. All the work PCs run Windows and I much prefer to use Linux these days. Currently I'm running Linux Mint 10 LXDE (Ubuntu 10.10 based) and Debian 6 with Gnome desktop - still not sure which I prefer yet. I install xrpd on the VMs and use Windows native Remote Desktop to connect (full screen). My fellow employees often look a bit baffled if they try to use my PC :)
If PVE 2.x can support full multimedia then that'd be awesome! I guess we'll have to wait and see how well it all works though.
It's interesting that the whole thin client thing has gone full circle. Once upon a time that was how it was all done, then thick clients became all the rage, now we're all (or many of us anyway) heading back towards the thin client model. I like it :)
Definately be interesting to see
