Like most people here I love VMWare. I work with it every day and love it.
At home I run VMWare workstation, and I love it too (maybe more then vSphere, but don't tell vSphere)!
This got me to thinking.
I think it would be a great addition to VMware workstation if we were able to run VMware View from workstation.
Think about it. You could create a VM on workstation just for Banking, or web surfing. Spin up a VM when you have guests, what ever!
You should be able to buy a PCoIP device to connect it to any LCD TV in your house. You could create a VM's for your kids and or wife(spouse) and be able to restore from snapshots.
If it was limited to 10 images, I'd be happy. This could easily be extended into the small business/branch office arena too! This could hook a small business to VMware from the very beginning!!
I pretty much already do some of this (banking VM, etc) but remote connectivity is an issues as RDP doesn’t work with Windows home editions, and I don’t want to pay for professional when I don’t need it. Combined with the fact I’d rather not have to buy a full computer when I should be able to get a $100 device to connect my LCD TV to PCoIP.
I am sure you get the idea, what do you think? Would this idea get some penetration?
Oh and a EMC iSCSI Home Device that does SAN Copy backups to Mozy (another favorite of mine) would be great too, but I am sure I am dreaming now!
