Well you know it is because of P-O-R-N that the computer industry has evolved like it did. Chatting, Video, Pictures, virtual worlds, games, all would not be where they are now had it not been for it and it IS documented. Think about it Things like virtual girl existed long before second life. The only thing video was used for was that, the most images I can remember being out there even when there were just BBS's were you got it.

Think about the Citrix message a "new desktop computer every time you boot up"… think about who needs that exactly??

Oh crap, I just realized what the real killer app is for VDI……
Dana Carvey nailed it at SYNERGY, seemed like a joke but I think it is right on the money !

I agree but only if they don't burry it in XenApp Plat or XenDesktop Plat. It needs to be a separate product for people who might not want to use either XenApp or XenDesktop....

Why also discuss PVS and if it should be part of XenApp Platinum ( I'm willing to give up Edgesight and Password Manager in exchange) and should Citrix fix their products or spend their money adding new features.

Speaking of Joe this is one of my favorite picturess I took from Synergy This is during Dougs Geek Speak session and is a picture of the front row.

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 http://picasaweb.google.com/jkenzig/CitrixGeekSpeakCTP/photo#5203201176488268290

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!!
