Some activity on the personalization front.

Sumit Dhawan over in the Citrix XenDeskop group has posted a very interesting article in the run up to VMworld 09.  I’m also hearing some interesting rumors about activity in user personalization space.  Sumit makes some very important points….which are all based on actual customer implementations. 

I’m also over in San Francisco attending VMworld this week and no doubt will hear about lots of upcoming companies and technologies, aiming to address the challenges of virtualized desktop management.  It’s great we have so many brains fixed on these issues now, but remember it’s all about what can actually be implemented in a customer environment.  We have to be pragmatic.  Through working with a substantial stable of customers, we know there is a right way to address the challenges of user personalization in desktop estates, and agree with the points Sumit makes in his blog.  Looking forward to more dialog on this!
