Those are good points, Scott.
I'm interning as a developer right now but will go full-time in May. My company just now retired the last few of their XP machines due to the security threats. Windows 7 is installed on virtually every work station. I toured the server room a few times, and they're making a heavy push toward virtualization.
We have a few PC labs at the university that were converted completely over to virtualized terminals last summer, and it was a rough implementation. They were extremely slow, the network went down frequently, and running something like Visual Studio was a death wish.
Luckily, they had the resources to iron out the issues fairly quickly, and I must admit that it makes sense for cost efficiency and painless administration.
As a Windows Forms developer, I'm reluctant to accept the reality of the move towards the web/cloud. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go type something up in Google Docs, save it in Google Drive, and log my work time on PlanView. :-/
