“Excessive industry hype has left CIOs reluctant to embrace desktop virtualisation.”

An interesting article, I wonder if it is industry hype or also cost?

I was speaking with one CIO who was asking why when he asks for a desktop virtualization quotation, it is always based in the UK? Can he not have it wherever the power and energy costs/support costs are cheapest? It’s not that desktop virtualization is not compelling from a cost viewpoint already, its more that it could be even more so if we looked at how and where we hosted the virtual machines.
