The Business Challenge.  IT organizations constantly need to adapt to meet changing requirements such as lowering cost, increasing security, adhering to regulations and going green. In particular, the way desktop users interact with the enterprise is changing rapidly with new technology and workplace innovations.

The Windows Optimized Desktop. New desktop technologies from Microsoft offer more choices to optimize desktop flexibility, richness, and cost. To help you make the best technology choices for your desktop users, Microsoft has classified user needs in five different scenarios based on user profiles: Office workers, Mobile worker, Task worker, Contract or offshore worker and Access from home. These scenarios reflect different user needs which can be optimally met by different combinations of desktop technologies.
