Hey everyone! Take a look at my thoughts on how Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) will fundamentally change remoting apps and desktops. I would absolutely love to hear what you think about this. Am I crazy (well, duh)? Am I right on the button? Somewhere in-between? You can always email me, tweet, linkedin, etc etc etc. Enjoy!!!! Continue reading Will WVD change the landscape of remoting apps and desktops?

Absolutely not BUT you would be correct to say I haven’t had a ton of time to update this site or my YouTube channel. I’ve had a few things going on but most importantly is my work with DJ Eshelman and the Thrive-IT livecast we do once a week.

All of this will hopefully be coming very soon but in the meantime enjoy the YouTube … Continue reading Have I Disappeared?

First and foremost, I am going to be starting a YouTube channel.  I plan … Continue reading My Upcoming Projects and Call for Reviewers

Since Microsoft announced Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) at last years Ignite (2018), there has been a lot of conversation around it.  I’ve even written on it and discussed at length through various mediums.  I must admit, I like what Microsoft is doing BUT it’s not necessarily from a technical perspective.  A lot of people focus on it and comparing it to Citrix and VMware Horizon View and others.  I think they are missing the whole point of WVD. Microsoft has traditionally paid, more or less, lip services to Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services.  For years, virtual desktops have not … Continue reading Windows Virtual Desktop and What It’s Release Truly Means
