Microsoft is delivering client virtualization capabilities in Windows 7. And VDI promises a way to control desktop costs, improve security and management - even deliver enterprise apps to phones and other mobile devices.rnWith VDI, users call up a terminal-like session on a remote host machine. Client sessions can run on Mac or Linux operating systems, but typically they run Windows. On the server side, the host runs Windows Server, often a full instance of a virtual machine.
