Re: But but but
It's for businesses that are exclusively using virtualization for employee desktops. With a traditional thin client a user has to log in, wait for it to load, launch the Windows app, and log in again to AVD. Plus, a thin client has an OS (that will never be used except to launch the Windows app) that needs to be kept up to date and can get viruses it can spread across the network. It makes device management a lot easier and makes it easier for end users who can't tell the difference between a local desktop and a VM. You just log in and go. When I did IT there were so many people that would have an issue on their VM, restart their thin client, and wonder why everything was the same when they logged back into their VM.
This isn't even the first of this style device on the market. Multiple manufacturers make "zero" clients that do nothing but connect you to VMware. This is just an AVD zero client.
