A potential client of mine uses Citrix and is very happy with it. He
said they basically wipe/replace the image daily. I guess that way they
don't have to worry about viruses? If I were to develop a desktop app
for them, I'd have to consider how to upgrade it easily. He said
updating/creating the image is usually painful and takes a long time.

We STILL have about half our machines at work and my personal laptop,
that
won't reboot properly after some updates. Get the black screen with
the
spinning white dots forever. The only common thing between them is
they
are all Dells.
Microsoft is really beginning to bug me (more so now then ever!). We
have
been considering ChromeBoxes and remote desktop into a Windows server,
but
even that would require massive change. We are heavily dependent on
Excel
automation for lots of things we do.

And as a double-bonus, if you had any updates hidden, say because they
corrupted your machine, the cumulative update un-hid them so they get
applied and, *boom*.
How can you not love the company that does this?
