Microsoft and VIA heading to the cloud

Microsoft's Windows Server 2008 will support virtual desktop environments for enterprise level computing more than any other Microsoft-based software designed for clients and centralised computing has in the past. One of the features is called RemoteFX and VIA has announced plans to support the technology in their media system processor technologies.

VIA's chips have long been popular in thin client designs because of their low cost and power efficiency.
“As organizations plan to deploy a centralized computing architecture with virtualized or session-based desktops, IT professionals want to deliver a premium user experience to connected workers,” said Mike Schutz, director of product management at Microsoft Corp. “The Microsoft RemoteFX feature in Windows Server will allow remote workers to access any type of application or screen content, including rich media and 3D applications. Companies such as VIA Technologies are offering a path to the future by investing in solutions today that will increase the flexibility and performance of a centralized desktop environment.”
