freeus - Workstation vs Desktop. It's not a stupid question. Actually, both Workstation & Desktop can be interchangeable. It depends on the setup and task at hand. If you have a "Network" they generally have a lead machine called a "Server" and other PCs attached to it called "Workstations". The "Worksations" can be configured with any accessory you want or can be striped down. If they are striped down you can "share" resources (CD, Printer, Drives, etc) attached through the network of other machines. The difference between the "Server" and a "Workstation" is mainly where your "Data Files" reside and but not always power. If you had two computers running the same program (Database) like an accounting package, you would not want both workers having their own "Data File". You would arrange for one "Data File" to be on a "Server". That way both workers can input data and update the file ant the same time using their own "Workstations" Hope this helped (pretty basic) If you would like a more in-depth definition feel free. Cheers!
