whitepaper n Now for Licensing Windows 72009-07-22 Dell

One of the first steps IT managers should take is to determine their firm's Windows 7 licensing strategy and how it fits into their broader Microsoft relationship. You will now have to consider your existing system's age, licensing investments, and how Software Assurance impacts initiatives like desktop virtualization to ensure your move to Windows 7 is cost-effective now and throughout its lifecycle at your company.

whitepaper How bare-metal client hypervisors will mean the end of agent-based Windows management2009-07-01 Virtual Computer
  With all the recent focus on VDI and desktop virtualization, people are starting to talk about "bare metal" or "Type 1" client hypervisors. Promising the ability to run virtual desktop workloads "locally" on client devices, these hypervisors have the potential ability to radically impact our industry.

But client hypervisors are not just about delivering virtual desktops to local client devices. In fact, one could argue that the true value of a client hypervisor is in the desktop lifecycle management arena, not in the desktop virtualization space.

In this paper, Brian Madden explores the value of bare metal client hypervisors in the context of PC lifecycle management.
