It's where multiple people can use the same computer at the same time each with their own monitor, mouse and keyboard. This saves a lot of electricity and e-waste. A company called Userful recently set a virtualization world record by delivering over 350,000 virtual desktops to schools in Brazil. They have a free 2-user version for home use too.

Look forward to more details of your upcoming white paper. I'd say what's going to need more attention is not only the convenience of central storage for virtualized environments, but also a possibility of working offline for a short period of time - for example, if I'm using a thin client accessing my virtual desktop over WAN and then need to disconnect, I would still like to be able to use at least some of the desktop functionality. Good luck with the paper! Hi,
