BYOPC – MACs for Everyone?

Desktop virtualization in the workplace

I just read this online at the Wall Street Journal

It’s a Free Country……So why can’t I pick the technology I use in the office?

In a recent survey on mobile device trends, ESG found that just 9% of businesses say that employees are free to select any device or mobile plan they choose. However that number will almost double to 16% of employers over the next 24 months.

IT guys love to use MACs, but hate to support them. Deploy desktop virtualization and BYOPC (bring your own PC) and problem solved.
