Last year, I attended my first Briforum and blogged about the experience. I closed by saying I couldn't wait until Briforum 2010, when we would return as a sponsor and demo how Unidesk transforms VDI with clear ROI and greater user acceptance. As you can see below, we kept our promise!

Since I already summarized booth visitor reactions to the Unidesk demos last week, I'll just share a few observations from our last few days at Synergy before unveiling the winner of our iPad contest:

Unidesk Named Vendor to Watch at Synergy
by Tom Rose on Fri, May 7, 2010 at 10:54 AM 0 comments, 1153 views
