A few weeks ago, vWorkspace 8 was released, and while we used to be notified of such releases, things have apparently changed since Dell acquired Quest. I'm sure some of this has to do with Jon Roll's departure from the company to fill the CTO position...

Could VMCS Shadowing (a.k.a. nested VMs) from Intel's new Haswell processors be what Bromium needs to work in VMs?

XP Paid Support: US$1 Million for 5,000 desktops for first year. Seems astronomically high, but if you need it, is it really?

We're now under one year to go until the end of life date for Windows XP , which Brian wrote about a few weeks ago. The relatively short article opened up a flood of comments talking about whether or not there are elevated security risks for running XP...

ShareFile doesn't (fully) work on XenApp? Now Citrix is making apps that "don't work on Citrix?"

A few weeks ago I was in Phoenix having lunch with (non-tweeting) Hal Lange and Joe Shonk of Thin Client Computing , and over a meat loaf sandwich (which I assume is native Phoenix food), I listened to their stories from the trenches. One such story was...

Parallels jumps into Mac management via SCCM arena, plus they add hypervisor and VM management

BriForum London Early-Bird pricing ends this Friday (for real this time!)

I thought we weren't supposed to use Windows 7 x64 with VDI. If that's the case, why are so many doing it?

Last week, Project VRC released the results of their State of the Industry Survey , and upon reading it I discovered several interesting things ( which I wrote about last week ). Besides the fact that significantly more people are doing non-persistent...

Project VRC's State of the Industry survey results: 32% of VDI is stateless, and over 50% of companies don't use third party UEM. These results and more!

Last year, Project VRC invited people around the world complete an extensive survey that asked them to describe their desktop virtualization environment. 662 people took part in the survey, and since it closed, Project VRC has been busy making sense of...
