Virtualization is a layer

and thus saps computing power in order to power itself. This effect MAY be small - but it is there in any VM product.

This idea of desktop virtualization is wrong headed. Centralized control of thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of workstation images (plus the VM software) is problematic - ever try to do this with Tivoli? Deploying software over the network is just plain stupid - as errors are multiplied by scale.

Once again I state that the emperor has no clothes. There are much simpler (and robust) ways to create distributed client architectures. Just by using NFS and automount you can serve applications to thousands of clients (or servers). You have ONE copy of the application (two for load balancing/fault tolerance) - and that's it! Want to deploy an application? Install it on the application server. That's it! No copying it to thousands of PCs . . .
