I could see the problems they solved by doing away with the cumbersome management and patching of physical machines. I must admit that back then when I first joined VMware, even I didn’t fully believe that virtual desktops were the universal panacea. Recreating a desktop virtually was possible but had a few restrictions when it came to what users could actually achieve on their devices. At that time, VDI was relatively limited as a technology. In hindsight, we were lucky that use case didn’t become a pressing reality back in the mid-2000s. But even back then, we were looking at the security benefits of VDI, if global health crisis did suddenly force workforces to go remote.

But now, the conversation is shifting to focus on the VDI user experience. ![]() For years, conversations about VDI have focused on the technological side of things.
