Twitter is awesome especially when your time is so important and every moment counts. I “do” twitter over facebook because it’s far simpler, much easier, much faster to utilize and frankly, I find it far more productive. For the life of me I don’t understand this out of control facebook craze…

Nice write up Chad! I’ll admit that I’ve harbored a little doubt around the take-off of VDI and at times I’ve been shy to the VDI complex. I’ve got no doubt that at some point VDI will latch on in amazing ways as it finds its home as a solution to some limiting situations like budget, power, manageability, future-proofing and portability. Essentially finding efficiency by doing what so many are trying to do… more with less.
I too still believe that a moderate percentage of human users, myself included, are coupled to their physical desktop as an extension of their personality or profile and as such picks away at the success of VDI solutions using core images with differencing disks for each VDI. I mean we really don’t want to do something that may impact end-user productivity. Based upon what I’ve read and what you’ve written I see this as breaking down into 2 high level segments of desktop organizations… those that will likely enforce company desktop usage to a virtual instance connected-to by way of aging physical gear (something that is currently successful today) || or organizations that retain desktops virtually, but allow users to hold their profile and allow personal customizations (I wonder how much roaming profiles can accommodate these users). I also thing application virtualization can play a huge role in how successful both types of VDI play out.
I especially liked the point you discussed around the variance in typical server performance versus desktop performance. Servers are, in a lot of cases, architected to be similar to each other in terms of versioning, sizing and most importantly… predictability. Making VDI more predictable, in my opinion, allows us to architect solutions with greater ease and reliability. Thanks for the posts!
