I would like to see what the above vendors are doing about addressing these issues as businesses rely more heavily on telecommuting, web-based training, and video conferencing.

It will be the start of desktop virtualization. Many people do not even know what that means. But with windows 7 and apple already doing it with boot camp, this will be the start.

This is a play that can impact verticals, SMB and enterprise. So plan your VAR virtualization vision now, bake the strategy and get into execution mode while the opportunity is still green. Oh, a more pressing question: how old ARE you VARGuy? Many of your readers no doubt tune into Conan and Fallon, but I bet only a few of your Gen Y audience will know who Karnac the Magnificent was. Sadly, like you, I DO remember the wonderful Mr. Carson! Well VARGuy,
