Nothing boosts publicity like a little controversy!   :-D

Anyway, there's really no difference between a desktop and workstation, these days.  Even desktop computers are getting built-in RAID, and some come with registered memory.  The only thing that really seperates a server from a desktop is redundancy, like redundant power and storage.  There's plenty of dual-processor hardware out there that's used for workstation work, and there's no reason it can't be used as a desktop.

Besides, for $3000 (without monitor, or anything else, for that matter), it sure does place in the workstation category.   ;-)
