From left to right Joe is the one Hovering standing next to Brad Stephens,
who is Next to Mark Templeton who is next to Shawn Bass (who had just
finished his VDI talk) Barry Flanagan, Jeroen Van De Kamp and Brian Madden
are in there also.  Now use the right arrow and click over 2 pictures and
see how fast Brian catches Marks ear. Click 2 more to the right and there is
Grumpy Doug. And here is one of Steve, Joe and Doug  picking apart VDI at
the CTP dinner

This is a long standing debate between Joe and I . To me VDI, and most
hypervisor virtualizations for that matter, are just not efficient enough.
For applications that require remoting and certain kinds of processing I am
sure there is a good match, i.e. stock traders, CAD engineers working at a
distance, etc.

The case we are pondering more and more is where remoting is needed but the
requirements to get the application set working in TS are highly
complicated. These may not be highly specialized apps, but apps that just
don't play well in TS. We have made some incredibly difficult apps work
together on TS, but in the end you have a very complicated system that is
hard to upgrade and change. So for certain organizations that have the
skills to manage a PC but not a complex TS environment, VDI starts to become
attractive.


One of our Bri-Forum sessions is called "Y-VDI" in which we will outline all
the use cases we can think of that support VDI.

My main issues with VDI are lack of efficiency, i.e. a really big ass server
might support 15-20 users, that completely sucks!!
