Now that virtual machines are everywhere and that my dream of lightweighted hypervisors monitoring virtual machines on every laptop is get closer, here's another great concept: www.mokafive.com. MokaFive delivers "virtual desktops as a service" to help customers manage thousands of virtual desktops running a variety of operating systems and resolve key security issues remotely. Here a nice demo.
I'm not the only lunatic to believe on virtual machines on personal computing. According to eWeek:
Natalie Lambert, an analyst at Forrester Research, predicts that in five years or so virtual machine software will be how most personal computing is done.
But Natalie goes further:
"It can be hosted in a data-center cloud, running on a desktop or some combination of the two. Personally, I think the greatest potential is for virtual desktop computing hosted in a data center. Imagine Google owning your desktop, and it’s available to you wherever you are.”
Makes sense. We came a long way since CP/CMS...
