PCoIP was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 11 February 2011 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Desktop virtualization. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Clearly false information without supporting evidence (links)

"Where a VDI service provides individual desktop operating system instances (e.g. Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) for each user, Remote Desktop Services sessions run in a single shared server operating system (e.g. Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, etc.)."

This section was written without formal knowledge of the system, and can be entirely incorrect. While RDP can run sessions in a single OS, it can also be used in conjunction with Hyper-V to provide virtual machine instances (i.e. individual desktop operating system instance).

In fact, most of the page is horribly out of date or simply useless/incorrect.

Remove uncited comment.

"it is currently not possible to run Windows 7 on an ARM-based tablet, as there are no emulators that run on those tablets and emulate an x86-based PC.[citation needed]" is not correct as other NT 6.0 variants (Vista; Win7 is NT6.1) will run atop QEMU on Tizen (Linux kernel). Ubuntu can replace Android on some Tablets (e.g. older Kindles). Qemu runs on the Linux Kernel which underies Android. Android essentially is a Dalvik user presentation layer (replacing X and Linux window managers) running on Linux kernel. Shjacks45 (talk) 05:24, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Missing section on Windows MultiPoint Server

Windows MultiPoint Server can use RDP or create Virtual PCs with Thin Client or even thinner client: will create PC's using multiport graphics cards on the Server or by USB-to-Video adapters and Keyboard/Mouse thru hub. I tested this using an acp50 USB Laptop Docking Station. The comment on Windows 7 VDI not running on ARM tablets is false. Shjacks45 (talk) 05:36, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
