Possibly but as with everything YMMV, it was certainly impressive
dropping the logon time down though.

Fair point, but even with hybrids you might find that there's a benefit,
also might be a useful interim measure. Or not. I've not tested it
yet..

To me it sounds and looks as if it's masking the problem by still
allowing profiles to get huge, just the user won't see it.
I'd rather spend the time to resolve the issue using hybrids rather than
hide it.

Looks like its not restricted to SBC - could be used on standard
desktops
There have been a couple of reviews and videos:
http://www.dabcc.com/video.aspx?id=9
http://www.thincomputing.net/articles/a-first-look-at-rto-virtual-profil
es.html
Personally, I think its a method of streaming files contained in a
roaming profile to the desktop - be that on a terminal server or a
normal desktop; essentially not making the profile smaller per se, but
reducing the impact of the size of the profile on load/unload times.
Given most profiles growth contains static content the login times
should be reduced.
From the marketing bumpf there is a client side component and a server
side component - and from that I can't see why it couldn't be used in a
standard desktop environment.
I've asked for an eval to see if it'll work - I can keep you posted.

Is anyone out there using the virtual profiles software? It seems that
the main benefit is logon time, which of course is critical but am I
missing anything as far as other benefits/problems solved? Not knocking
at all, it's a great idea....in fact is a TS environment the only place
it can be used or can it be implemented for roaming profiles on a fat
client?
