There are a number of options to run a desktop on your local device using a virtual machine. There are a number of good benefits to doing so, but here we focus more on the "how-to". Some examples of products:
- Citrix FlexCast
- VMWare workstation
- Microsoft Hyper-V
Magazines such as Network World have run stories on who has the better platform, including "deep dive" studies. The companies themselves also run "technical blogs" that document experience of using the technology and also play an "evangelical" role in big-upping their respective platforms.
Note: running a desktop on a virtual machine is definitely not the same thing as virtual desktops, a concept very common on Linux environments and making inroads into the Windows world as well!!
