,----[ Quote ]
| At the risk of sounding like an IT marketing cliche, desktop virtualization 
| could be a win-win. IT gets operational simplicity and security while users 
| get freedom of choice. With virtualization in place, users can bring in their 
| familiar Macs and do their jobs without a hitch. Sure, the burden goes to the 
| data center and the network, but aren't we headed in that direction anyway?
