Only 10 more days before I will be leaving home, heading to Redmond. It’s Microsoft MVP Summit again. Like every year I’m really looking forward to meeting with the Microsoft RDS product team and other MVPs for a couple of day. In contrast to last year there seems to be a good chance to learn about the realContinue Reading

When I started working as a technical director for AppSense at the beginning of 2011, the deal was that I can use a good part of my working time for contributing to the RDS/VDI expert community in a vendor-independent manner. What this means is that AppSense is paying me for doing stuff that is not necessarily related to only AppSense products, like lookingContinue Reading

A couple of days ago I had the opportunity to attend HP Discover 2011 in Vienna. AppSense was one of the exhibitors there and I presented our sponsor session at day 1. It was my first time at Discover and I must say that I was impressed: 7,000 attendees, 270 executive meetings and 533 trackContinue Reading

I’ve been in Barcelona last week, attending Citrix Synergy. If I were a Citrix customer, I’d be both impressed and confused after this event. There is a simple reason for this: While Citrix introduced amazing new products and announced spectacular acquisitions, they missed to present a clear strategy or just a simple overview. What isContinue Reading

It’s done. My website goes from the old wtstek.com design that seems to come from the 80′s of the last century to a modern theme. Graphics design and usability improvements are from Katie Lancaster, Mangoberry Web Design and Services. Many thanks, Katie!

It’s conferences season again, and I love it. Shawn Bass and I invested a couple of weeks into some fun stuff, like building reference environments in our labs, collecting new data and recording 400 videos for the new version of our remoting protocol comparison. Then we co-presented the results at BriForum in London (May 10Continue Reading

Wow, the year started really busy. I didn’t even have time to write new blog articles until today. After joining AppSense and going through induction and some public interviews, I started visiting key customers. This gave me valuable insights into what’s going on in the field. Even though I had only relatively short time toContinue Reading

As some of you may already know I will be leaving Immidio by the end of this year. In January 2011 I will be joining AppSense. What’s the reason for this move? I really enjoyed my time at Immidio after it was spun off from Login Consultants. Helping to build a new company and newContinue Reading

It’s been an incredible year so far.  Over the last months, Shawn Bass and I were busy testing various popular Windows remoting protocols in our vendor-independent labs.  It was all about installing available remote desktop products out of the box on reference hardware and finding out how it feels like when using applications with differentContinue Reading

Well, I should have know better. But I had the ambition to build a “mobile” RemoteFX reference environment that is good for demos and protocol performance tests. I want to use such test results at my upcoming Synergy and Tech-Ed sessions. I had to learn the hard way that this is not as simple as it seems to be.
