It's all a Lie! Virtualization and how it can use the Internet to make good things happen at the right price

If you've lasted this far and you still have room for a bit more, Congratulations!

By now it will be pretty obvious that the majority of the different technologies you've seen focus on a simple browser based endpoint. Consider also that thanks to Moore's Law, computers are reaching a point where they have more processing and storage capacity than the end user needs or can fully use. Virtualization is an emerging technology that allows one physical computer to behave in every respect as if it were several physical computers. Coupling Virtualization with that ubiquitous web browser allows for the creation of efficient centralized computing facilities capable of delivering significant economies of scale. The end result is doing more with less.

I'll be using three virtualization scenarios, K-12 education, managing multiple PC office environments, and corporate sector training to show how this all hangs together, and get you thinking about how this technology could work for you.
