Back in September 2009 VMware already demoed the Client Virtualization Platform (CVP) at VMworld in San Francisco. The CVP will extend the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure to mobile users, running their desktop operating systems directly on the virtualization layer without need for a host operating system like Windows. There is a new video which shows CVP running on a DELL laptop at the French VMware User Group.
