Last week I read an article on Ars that suggested that companies might be considering keeping Windows XP until Windows 8 comes out . For the record, the article is dismissive of the idea, and I have to say, I am too. The main reason for me is that Windows...

Last week there was a blog post and interesting discussion on the use cases for Windows Embedded Standard 7 thin clients (WES7). Outside of the usual "thin client vs. other options," a key issue is the fact that Microsoft wants you to pay for...

Now that the upgrade to Windows XP Embedded has been released (as Windows Embedded Standard 7 ) a few months ago, is anyone really excited about or planning to use it? I know this is the latest extension to the age-old battle between "rich"...

I gave about 20 speeches about desktop virtualization in 2009, and one of the core tenants of those was that Windows 7 and desktop virtualization are sort of “codependent” on each other. I felt since most companies were still on Windows XP...

Last up in our rundown of the Big 5's desktop virtualization product lines is Microsoft. This is probably the most ambiguous vendor, because so many of their products intertwine to make up their solution. Many of those products have been around for...

I’ve written in the past that part of what’s holding back VDI today is that today’s VDI is just SBC to single-user VMs instead of multiuser Terminal Servers. So in today’s world, VDI’s use case is not too much more broad than Terminal Services. However...
