MacVoices #21055: MacVoices Live! - The Many Faces of a 'Virtual Desktop' (1)

<p>The MacVoices Live! panel of <strong>Kelly Guimont</strong>, <strong>David Ginsburg</strong>, <strong>Jeff Gamet</strong>, <strong>Frank Petrie</strong>, <strong>Jim Rea</strong>, <strong>Guy Serle</strong>, and <strong>Andrew Orr </strong>answered a listener question about virtual desktops…but what kind of virtual desktop? The term is confusing and can be applied at least three ways…so we talked about all of them! We also started into a discussion of the commercial cloud services as well as the “personal cloud” devices that put a cloud on your desk.
