![]() Speaking of Linux, Tricerat is preparing to launch a ScrewDrivers Linux Client in the next few months. An on-stage demonstration was presented by IGEL with the SDK soon to be made public for a broader ecosystem of thin client models. Microsoft announced that linux-based thin clients will soon be able to connect to the Windows Virtual Desktop service, significantly increasing deployment options for admins that want to leverage WVD. Get all the details about MSIX App Attach Linux SDK In the demo with a package over 1 GB, a small amount of delay was noticeable but it was very close to native performance especially once the package is cached and available for re-launch. This enables a clean base image that can then be customized to different groups of users without having to create different images for different groups. Having FSLogix integration enables easy profile movement between desktops, and now MSIX can dynamically add applications to a desktop at runtime. MSIX adds another piece of the layering puzzle to the native Microsoft offering. Soon, Windows Virtual Desktop will be a primary item within the Azure service and more options will be available through the user interface, such as granting access to new users (and groups!) to WVD. As easy as the service is now, admins still must execute some PowerShell and search for some of the steps involved with setup. ![]() Scott Manchester showed off some of the new interfaces coming for WVD in Azure. Here's a list of other updates and information that was announced at the event: Azure Portal Admin Improvements The service works worldwide now, but having more datacenter options means the choice to minimize latency to the service. Worldwide datacenter options in 2020 - Microsoft took the service live for data-centers in the US and Europe, but plan to quickly add on with data-centers in Japan, Brazil, Australia, India, and other locations. Here are some of the things that we found interesting for what’s coming: With the announcements at Ignite, the remote desktop team has shown that they have a lot planned for this service and are taking advantage of the agility of cloud services. WVD has only been live for about a month and has already seen quick technical progress and industry attention. The conference did not disappoint, with a sizable array of sessions on WVD including overviews, customer stories, technical deep-dives, and roadmap sneak peeks. Microsoft made the cloud service official in October in a lead-up to Microsoft’s major customer event of the year. Many of us in the EUC world had Microsoft Ignite 2019 circled on the calendar as the primary launch of Windows Virtual Desktop.
