AppRemoting has been almost an exclusive Citrix functionality. As a former MACBook user I prayed for thsi kind of functionality. VMware has unlocked this function within Horizon 6 to combine with Workspace to deliver a end user consumption portal and usage model. This is really profoundly useful when you want to consume in a lot…
I’m honored to be named to this group for my 3rd year (announcement here). I’ve seen value in the program because of the people, passion, and resources of this community.

Desktop as a Service. Dropbox. Consumerization…. and so on. @NexusStratos (Tim Pfaff aka “The Angry VCP” & @jerridcunniff) and I presented “EUC Kung Fu” at the vmworld vBrownbag flash talks about VDI moving to a broader definition; End User Computing (EUC).
