Anywhere/Anytime Computing
Link: Futurelawyer: Citrix to Enter Server and Desktop Virtualization Markets with Acquisition of XenSource. Rick Georges (aka Futurelawyer) has a great post about happenings in the "virtualization space" and the ability to get to his "stuff" anytime he needs or wants, and for Rick that is often and always. But that is something we ALL want and need.
My good friend Chris Saah calls this "PC 2.0" as a play on "Web 2.0" because, like it or not, most of us are still drinking the MS Kool Aid and probably will be for quite some time. As we become more and more wired we feel a constant need for access to our computing resources on demand--anywhere/anytime. That's where Citrix and VMware come in. Expect for things to remain "hot" with respect to these offerings as companies continue to look for ways to satisfy the need.
