We're nowhere near the only place doing this kind of thing either.. it's becoming very much a standard in many places with a lot of HPC (especially EDA) work.. if desktops are used, they're just clients that are used for interactive work then batch jobs go into a central compute farm.
My company is the same way. All of our warehouse and customer service employees use LTSP for desktops which all runs on a central server. We developers/admins have Linux desktops. The servers are all being consolidated into Xen clusters in the datacenter. We may eventually use something like FreeNX to provide LTSP like functionality to people working from home. Good stuff.
