Desktop Virtualization - what's in it for the end user?

Very little, if anything! That's why virtualization has been harder to sell to the the business users.

Unless you put your integrated applications in the same VM, even existing desktop integrations will break. Excel in one VM and your integrated Trading System in another VM now won't be integrated (except for copy and pastesmile )! 

There are technologies now that enable you to integrate applications running in different VM's but strangely, for most desktop applications, there are none from the VM vendors themselves.
