“3. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) – Ah, VDI, the
most controversial topic du jour. There are those who sing its
praises and paste their lame hopes on it but there are those of us
who take a more realistic view of VDI: Another transitional
technology that will never pay off or pay for itself. Sorry, I am
not a fan.“Those who spend money on this high-priced technology will find
that they’ve wasted time and a lot of money on it with little to
show but frustrated users and unhappy technical folk who must
support it.“Watch: Cisco/VMware, Citrix, Virtual Bridges, Red Hat.
“4. Gadgets – Linux-based gadgets will make an incredible surge
this year. More manufacturers will turn to Linux for eeking out
more profit and less hassle for their customer service and call
centers. I just hope that they’re careful when they do. The
Software Freedom Law Center brought suit against 14 companies that
didn’t supply their source code with their BusyBox-based
gadgets.“Watch: Astak, TomTom, Chumby”
