In a very interesting blog post from Virtualization.info there were a lot of "wow" facts about VMware, Citrix and VDI in general.

1. Maritz says that a serious adoption of VDI won’t happen before another one or two years.

2. Citrix CEO Mark Templeton reported 200 new (XenDesktop?) customers for Q2 2009, and (only?) 10 of them booked over 1000 virtual desktops.

3. VMware is looking for a new 'VDI CTO".

That is very interesting information to me.
