Our jobs as IT professionals delivering end user computing are pretty complex!
In the old days, we just had to worry about delivering the Windows OS to Windows desktops. The arrival of laptops fifteen years ago changed some of the logistics (we had to learn about new things like modems, RRAS, and VPNs), but at the end of the day our job was still about delivering Windows desktops to users.
I guess we have to talk about Microsoft's Surface tablet. There are literally thousands of other articles describing what it is. (BW, NYT, Engadget) So instead of re-hashing that, let's get right into the real conversation that's missing from the big news sites.
You may have noticed that I haven't written much on BrianMadden.com for the past few weeks. That's because I've been putting the final touches on our new book, The VDI Delusion: Why Desktop Virtualization Failed to Live Up to the Hype, and What the Future Enterprise Desktop will Really Look Like. This book was cowritten by Gabe Knuth, Jack Madden, and me.
Now more than ever, IT professionals can’t afford to waste time or money on anything that doesn’t produce results. For precisely this reason, TechTarget Events have been designed to provide complimentary, practical advice that you’ll put to use immediately.
