Re: Virtual desktop.

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would this be something that can be rolled out to ALL users in the 
company?  Or are there certain tasks that this setup doesn't work well 
with?  How well does VMWare work with more resource intensive applications 
such as AutoCad?

Are the developers switching as well?

Yes, where it is: a) backed up regularly, b) protected from physically 
walking out the door, and c) cheaper.

Only C really counts....

OK, deployment of a new instance of a desk top taking about 30 seconds 
is a benefit, and restoring a broken user back to functional in the same 
30 seconds is of some use.  Recovering the boss's lost spreadsheet he 
deleted yesterday is of marginal value,  etc....
