Applause!
Still in desktop, what is the current status of testing with not-last-generation-laptops-with-SF-office-broadband? When I went to WikiCon in Germany, one of the most prolific editors of de.wiki told me that she was trying hard to incorporate VisualEditor and MediaViewer to her workflows, but that her "normal" laptop with her "normal" connection at home would simply not follow with her demands on speed, which was the reason why she wasn't compelled to use either. "Normal" here means regular standards for a middle age hobbyist editor in a small city of Germany, which is probably closer to the high end spectrum for desktop users in a global scale.
