I maintain a desktop oriented repo for CentOS and last I checked a year or so ago, I got over 150k+ unique IPs with yum user agent downloading stuff from it.
It's a bit anecdotal as perhaps not all are actual desktop users and some users were using multiple IPs (dhcp), but it shows there are quite a few users out there running CentOS for desktop purposes.
Few only? I'm a nux repo user for a long time, and heard of it from
forums and official pages. It sounds quite obvious to me that CentOS is
used for desktop purposes in addition to server or dev systems.
The Department of University I work for does use CentOS for workstations
(those of professor and graduate students) and group number crunchers.
So, indeed it is "desktop" system. Servers... Hm, we fled from CentOS to
FreeBSD.

There are desktop focused distros out there who do not even reach
this kind of numbers. How many active users do you think Mageia or
Linux Mint have?
