Disclaimer (Oct ‘09): This page is a popular Google hit. I assume that’s due to significant community interest in virtualization, esp. desktop virtualization. However, this post is now only of historical value. The market has changed. The products have changed. Altiris (now Symantec) has changed its positioning and strategy significantly since this was written. For current info on Symantec Endpoint Virtualization, visit Symantec Connect.

This article has been sitting in my Drafts folder for months. Between being very busy and SoftGrid becoming less of a competitive issue for us since the MS acquisition (and their subsequent demotion of it to a promotional tool), I haven’t really had the opportunity or motivation to complete either this or my promised open letter to Bill Anderson. But there’s some good info in here, so I figured I’d post it in raw form, with minimal updating for any factual changes since it was originally composed back in May or June. If I have already extracted out some of this text for previous posts, my apologies for the duplication. Enjoy.
