VMware will be claiming 99% for vdi or alike and taking the claim as having the hypervisor layer, as for how VMware is positioning horizon, when it launched it was you replace SCCM with it, but they found no traction, so they changed it to use horizon to be for managing the vdi space beside sccm if you have it already. But to use horizon if you don't already have SCCM.
Also around virtualizing IE, MS doesn't support it as you are virtualizing part of the operating system which can cause issues if you run multiple versions side by side. In saying that technically you can App-v IE its just complicated, not documented, and not completely supported Hope that helps Steve Sent from my Windows Phone ________________________________ From: Daniel Ratliff<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 5/12/2014 6:15 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: VMware on the way .. the workspace client VS SCCM 2012?

I haven't used it, but they certainly don't have 99% of the market share for systems management. Last I heard ConfigMgr has something like 70% market share there.

Hi Folks, We haven't gotten around to putting in SCCM 2012 and VMWARE has been selling pretty hard here. We are about to roll out the workspace client and it seems earily familar to some of the stuff SCCM does in 2012. Does anyone know if this is a direct competing product? Are there issues having both clients on the boxes? I did ask about a bit and they said they went with VMWARE because it had 99% of the market share and that it could virtualize IE and Microsofts version cannot. Is that true? That seems like a pretty bad thing to be unable to virtualize IE to get past some really junky apps.
