I'd love to be able to connect to a farm using a SSL VPN and connect to a 
responsive desktop image via browser. I wonder who's going to implement this, 
post-corona as a means to scale remote work?

Citrix and RDP licenses always seemed prohibitive; you'd need to give up a lot 
on the desktop end to justify it. I'd swap a $2K laptop for a $300 chromebook 
to have my desktop in a window...
