We haven't had a single complaint about it being slow, and honestly, just about all of our most common user issues have been resolved.
On the other hand, we push our own images to the machines via GhostCast.
On topic: As others have said, of course having a slow machine will cause stress, it's slow and unable to perform. What people don't realize is that they can get a whole new desktop for $400 or so that will probably smoke their source of computer-related stress.

dude... you can see enterprises that make billions (Israel electricity company) that got 2000/3 servers and offices with XP+2003 ms.office.pack ar only main branches where "tEh elite" sits... And you are talking MADNESS ssd at work computers... pffft. Crazy people... No this is not sarcasm, more like harsh reality for many.
And do the math. Lower end office computers will cost 400$ multiply that number by employee number and be shocked.
