I would also not count out Terminal Server (Remote Desktop Services) just yet. The fact is that Terminal Server has advantages over VDI, while VDI also has advantages over Terminal Server. That's why most organizations are best served by adopting a hybrid approach, with an optimal mix of Terminal Server (for task-oriented users), VDI (for power users), and Blade PCs (stock traders, graphic designers, etc.) which delivers the most benefit and platform flexibility to the organization. Ericom Software's PowerTerm WebConnect facilitates this hybrid approach by managing access to Terminal Server, VDI and Blade PCs, all with one management tool, one product.

I'd wager that of the people questioned, 99.9% get their VDI positinioning from VMware and Citrix (and not the disruptive NComputing). Ask the question, "Who would be the biggest advicate for VDI if it cost under $100 per seat?" and you are likely to see CEO/CFO at the top of the list and wondering, "Why aren't we doing this?"

The ‘I’ in VDI refers to Infrastructure which is pretty much meaningless in the context of Desktop Virtualization. However with the numerous technologies that now make up desktop virtualization there is a need to understand how they work together to deliver on the benefits of this new platform. To my mind what virtualization does for desktops is to allow us to manage each of the parts of the image appropriately. That means management of OS and application images as standardized components with the user environment virtualized and managed separately.
