Anything -station is a single-user workstation with graphics (the very
definition of a workstation), whereas anything micro- or -system is a
multiuser system with several serial lines or network terminals.
Neither is crippled, in the same way that neither a bike nor a lorry is
crippled, they're just built for two different purposes though they both use
wheels.
