I can see this really helping with the BYOD revolution that's happening in enterprise. There's been an increasingly awkward mix of personal use and data with computers meant for corporate work. Virtual Desktops done well can really help here.

I can see more companies providing funds to employees to buy the device they prefer instead of provisioning a machine for each employee (ours does that already). Then the computer can be used locally for personal needs and through the virtual desktop for work.

Though as I've been traveling more lately, I can see how the need for a persistent, high-quality internet connection can be an issue in the field.
