Virtual desktops win thin client fans

,----[ Quote ]
| Large PC users are increasingly looking to VDI - virtual desktop
| infrastructure, which uses VMWare to host virtual PCs - as an alternative 
| to current server-based computing approaches such as Citrix and Windows
| Terminal Server (WTS), says thin client developer Igel Technology.
| 
| [...]
| 
| "If you've got old PCs, the temptation is to use them as Citrix or WTS 
| clients and keep the local hard disk and operating system, but then 
| they're still vulnerable to viruses and still need management," he added. 
| "Our PC conversion cards replace the hard disk with a Linux client in 
| flash memory, with all our client services built in, such as IP phone 
| support."
