Would or will
Citrix Presentation Server (formerly Citrix MetaFrame Server) is a remote access/application publishing product that allows people to connect to applications available from central servers. One advantage of publishing applications using Presentation Server is that it lets people connect to these applications remotely, from their homes, airport Internet kiosks, smart phones, and other devices outside of their corporate networks. From an end-user perspective, users can log in to their corporate network from, for example, an airport kiosk, see all of the applications they would see everyday at work, including Outlook email and any internal applications, and access them from the kiosk in a secure environment. To the user, the application would appear as if it was installed and running on their computer (seamless desktop integration), whereas in reality, the application is running on the Citrix Presentation Server, usually hosted in their corporate environment.

I just want to know about the use of 'would' in 3rd and 4th sentence of the above.
Marius and a few others taught me to the way to use the word 'would' to indícate hypothetical nature.
From an end-user perspective, users can log in to their corporate network from, for example, an airport kiosk, see all of the applications they would see everyday at work, including Outlook email and any internal applications, and access them from the kiosk in a secure environment.
I can't perceive the existence of any hypothesis in the above. I will simply write 'will' instead of 'would'.

They would see those apps if they were at work, but they are in the kiosk... I am in the internet kiosk and now I can access all the applications that I would use if I were at work. So, this is just second conditional.
