My 2020 Commitment to the EUC Community

I’ve been a part of the EUC community since the beginning and I’ve seen it grow into something more than just about technology. People coming together to support and help others in ways I don’t think any one of us could have foreseen about 20 years ago. This community is special and I am extremely proud to be part of it. As such, I want to renew my commitment to the community. What does this mean? First, I am going to try to attend more events during 2020. I’m already committed to the EUC Masters Retreat and E2EVC Madrid. In … Continue reading My 2020 Commitment to the EUC Community

I think I figured out why Microsoft is moving Remote Desktop Services from server to client

I wrote a blog on WVD the other day and I mentioned something in it and I want to buckle down on this assertion.  I truly believe I have figured out the reason WHY Microsoft came out with Windows 10 Multi-user.  It has nothing to do with any reason I’ve previously spouted but it comes down to one simple reason (if someone has already spoken about this, I apologize then.  I  simply haven’t seen anyone come out with this assertion).

The first two were not good, not good at all. Why should we care this time around? Because of your own point, this IS their third attempt at it AND it is better than the first two. It is the second part that is being missed. … Continue reading Microsoft, Windows Virtual Desktop and Azure

Why, I Believe, this is the Beginning of the End for RDSH

A discussion broke out on twitter the other day about Office, O365, RDSH and WVD.  It was regarding Microsoft’s announcement that Office 365 will not run on Windows Server 2019 RDSH.  Office with a perpetual license will continue to be supported on Windows Server 2019 RDSH.  The question became:  Does this, or does it not, signal the end of RDSH? In my opinion (we all have those right?), this is the start of the end of RDSH as we know it.  I will get into why I do truly believe that but first, I would point you to Claudio Rodrigues’s … Continue reading Why, I Believe, this is the Beginning of the End for RDSH
