Is Virtual Desktop Delivery Hype or Reality?

,----[ Quote ]
| What is changing however is the ability to just delivery terminal services or 
| specific applications to delivering complete user desktops based on Windows 
| XP or in Red Hat's case, Linux as well.  
| 
| Michael Ferris, Director of Desktop Virtualization at Red Hat, commented that 
| it took some time for Linux to prove its worth in the enterprise and he 
| expects the same will now occur with Linux for VDI.
