SuperSite Blog Daily Update: December 2, 2010

This post is more than a bit misguided from a style of communication standpoint, but the salient point, if you can cut through the unnecessary bile and schoolyard language, is a good one:

Fair enough. He's referring to the Microsoft PR from the other day that touted two blog posts discussing user state virtualization. Here's my take on this: Microsoft has a pretty pervasive virtualization strategy that spans across various server and desktop products and technologies. But some areas are stronger than others. And certainly the user state stuff could be more comprehensive and seamless, and as some had mentioned in the comments section, this stuff has actually been around for a while. This is true, though many companies aren't utilizing it, which I believe was the point of the posts; i.e. that customers have asked Microsoft why their not offering good user state virtualization, when in fact they do have something along those lines already. But my. The bile.

I assume the answer to that one is obvious. And it's too bad, because there's a good point to be made in there somewhere.

I would really like to see the Windows 8 generation address this in a more seamless fashion, and hopefully it will.
