Why Microsoft is sabotaging desktop virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| Analysis: Microsoftâs licensing makes VDI unaffordable, to keep its
| stranglehold on desktop Windows licenses intact
|
| [...]
|
| Thereâs no other way to cut this: Itâs simply way more expensive to license a
| Windows desktop OS for a VDI environment than it is to license one for a
| physical environment. Even if you upgrade to a new major OS revision during
| those three years by taking advantage of the Software Assurance plan included
| in VECD, youâre still paying more than you would if you did the same thing
| with a desktop client.

| How do you know the organization, and the op-ed, weren't created by LawMedia

| Some of them have left digital fingerprints here and there, though, says
| Declan McCullagh, in a blockbuster of a report exposing the intellectual
| whoredom offered for various important issues. Shortly after Microsoft hired
| LawMedia, for example, legislators, national agencies, and news outlets
| received pointed complaints from coalitions of farmers, rural voters, and
| geeky Latinos about how Google's advertising deal with Yahoo would wreck
| everything.

| Don't call them a PR firm or a lobbying firm though, Law Media â which has a
| ton of lawyers working for them tooâis a "public affairs firm" specializing
| in producing "remarkable coalitions" for anything one might need a coalition
| for.
