I got a comment on yesterday’s post from Rodney Haywood, a.k.a. Rodos, a fellow virtualization (or, as he would probably type it, virtualisation) blogger, that said …

Cool. Maybe you were inspired by my post http://rodos.haywood.org/2009/01/life-without-v…

Be great to hear about your progress and journey. It can be done. I miss my VDI!

Now, before I officially started the Eating the dog food series, I was going to type up a post on all the reasons why I want to run a virtual desktop in the first place (other than “practicing what I preach”).  But after reading Rodos’ post last night, I realized I could save myself the time by just pointing everyone to his blog.  He pretty much sums up everything I was going to say anyway :)    So check out his post Life without VDI sucks if you want to know why I’m eager to run a virtual desktop.

Rodos, great work and thanks for the comment.  And where did you get that sticker?!  I want one!!

    Aaron – how did it work out? Did you test View? I'm also curious if you've looked at any of the type 1 hypervisors like the one from Virtual Computer or the ones Citrix and VMware are building?
