OK - I've been looking around for feedback to understand this better. I
just noticed this:

He says:

It looks like we've done quite a decent job of highlighting that the
workstation is great for devs, and we seem to be confusing our "non dev"
users. 

As far as my understanding goes, the workstation makes it easy for devs
to use it, but it still includes everything that a general user needs -
like the desktop live used to - should we clarify this?
