While Microsoft says it won’t have enough phones for all developers, it is working to make sure that the devices aren’t limited to just the big software developers.

Microsoft Virtual Desktop 101 – making sense of VDI, RDS, App-V, MED-V and desktop virtualisation
Desktop virtualisation is a hot topic right now. It seems wherever I go and whatever I read about the desktop and where it’s headed, virtualisation is something that people want to talk about. Often these conversations are about VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) but in part that seems to be because VDI is such a buzzword at the moment, and people want to know more about it.
One of the problems if you’re new to the topic is getting to grips with the concepts and technologies. Because it’s hot there is no shortage of information but in some ways that’s part of the problem: there’s too much information and most of it seems to assume that you already know a whole lot about the subject and tends to dive right in to a level of detail that, as a newcomer, you really don’t need. I think people want the big picture but are finding instead a jumble of jigsaw pieces.
