Microsoft stands firm on their commitment to virtualization....and it reads both VMWare and Microsoft virtual machines...have the virtual machine operate directly from the USB drive..and you can associate the workspace with Group Policy and Active Directory...Centralized monitoring and reporting provide control over the endpoint and granular audit of user activity...cuts down some of the need for server farms...
Could this be the next direction of the Microsoft HealthVault for something similar with medical records carried on a virtual drive? You can also produce a DVD and run a virtual system...and for the end user...it is pretty much invisible..no need for training, just the same software they are already familiar with...BD
