Sun VDI Software 3 brings three different supported OS choices as shown in the short, silent video. Users will benefit from a visual how-to boot for OS choices available with VDI 3. The 'PC experience' is shown in full from boot to shut down for each OS choice.

When watching the video, viewers should be aware that the use of the word 'supported.' "I mention 'supported' because you can make any OS VirtualBox supports into a VDI solution, but we officially support XP, Vista, Win2KPro, Ubuntu, and OpenSolaris," said Craig Bender, Senior Engineer for Sun Microsystems Virtual Desktop Engineering group, otherwise known as the Thin Guy blogger. In addition, users "can place a service call if something is not operating as advertised," said Bender.
