Another year, another New England VMUG at Gillette Stadium. Last year the mood at Gillette was a little different. The Patriots were coming off of a shellacking from their rivals the New York Jets. This year the atmosphere was dramatically different. The Patriots had just put an end to Tebow-mania with a defeat over the Denver Broncos and were set to play the Baltimore Ravens at home for the AFC Championship...

Unidesk is starting to be adopted in healthcare because VDI admins are finding it easier to package and deliver apps with our layering technology than with app virtualization. I was just at a Boston-area hospital that’s implementing virtual desktops for a new wing.

Re-learned a rookie lesson on the way home from VMworld 2011 Las Vegas: don’t take a nap before getting on a red-eye - you won’t sleep on the plane. But it did give me the chance to blog Unidesk’s experience and thank 10 of our customers for helping staff our booth!
