Microsoft released Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 Wednesday.
It's a new operating system - for classrooms, labs and libraries to start - that lets multiple users share a host computer using their own monitors, keyboards and mice via USB or a video card.
It's interpreted as Microsoft blessing VDI for everyman - the thin edge of the wedge that pries open the mass market - since small commercial installations can reportedly also use the thing.
It's supposed to be easier to use than conventional Windows Servers and lower cost.
Microsoft says each person controls his or her own station and gets an independent Windows computing experience. Its web site says up to 10 simultaneous users can access one MultiPoint Server license in a commercial environment as long as every accessing device or user (including the host computer if used as a station) has a MultiPoint Server CAL. Apparently there's no limit in a school at least with an academic license. Read more: .NET Journal
