In these days we hear a lot about Desktop Virtualization and Application Virtualization. Last week-end someone asked me what I was currently doing and I told him that beside my normal day job, I am doing a number of Citrix trainings. Now let me mention that this person is just a regular user who doesn’t know anything about managing an Enterprise IT infrastructure, leave alone he would understand what Virtualization technology is about. Heck… how to explain Application Virtualization, Streaming, VDI to an ordinary mortal?

Is this Windows in the Cloud?

Just took a look on CodePlex to see if there’s any new interesting projects and came across the Windows4all.com project. Windows4all.com is a silverlight based website simulating an operating system inside your web browser.

By the way, if you’re interested in these type of solutions, there’s also Wiki-OS or continue reading the WEB OS article on Mashable.

Microsoft has opened live mesh to more testers, although only to users located in the U.S.

Well, after changing the regional settings, you get to the next page, where you can sign-up :-)

Get meshed

Already heard of Microsoft’s new service called Live Mesh ? If not, have a look here: http://www.on10.net/blogs/nic/Hands-on-with-Live-Mesh/

You can sign-up for Live Mesh here: https://www.mesh.com/Welcome/Welcome.aspx, but there appears to be a long waiting list, i registered a couple of weeks ago, but still get the following message…..

I am really looking forward for this service, as, if it does what they promise, it will definitely make life a bit easier for those that work on different machines. I’m just curious about what corporate IT security people think of this service. I’m sure not all companies look forward to see their business PCs being “mes(sh)ed up.
