ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing a consistent work environment to a plurality of users is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system may include a plurality of computing systems which are located at a common location and connected by a network. Each of a plurality of human interfaces may be coupled to one of the plurality of computing systems by a communications link. Each human interface is located at a user location. The user location may be remote from the plurality of computing systems. Each of the human interfaces may be operable to present to a user a graphical user interface for application software, a graphical user interface for conducting telephone calls with external parties, and a video window for displaying television programming.
