It is much easier to secure data at a central point than on hundreds or thousands of endpoints. The real reasons that we see enterprises adopting slowly are quickly fading: 1) enterprises like to see a technology in play for 3 year before they adopt it and that's where we now are, 2) they've been burned by the earlier high cost and poor performance of traditional thin-client architectures, and 3) they haven't had enough incentive to investigate alternative desktop architectures (they've been doing the same basic thing for the past 20+ years). The economy has changed that and desktop buying will never be the same again. I’m with NComputing and actually privacy and data security are enhanced with virtual desktops.
