In a blog post Derek Thorslund mentions all the demos that Citrix had for this tech lab. Al though "multimedia virtualization" sounds very sexy, it's also a vague term.

Here's some of the demos Derek mentions:

• SpeedScreen Progressive Display
• SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration on Windows Server 2008
• OpenGL acceleration
• Vista Aero theme support
• Vista Aero desktop remoting
