Answer Wiki:
It is difficult to give a hard number on this. We can tell you that we have many customers in the midst of their virtualization projects and for those not already executing on such a project, we are getting a lot of questions. I would say virtualization is definitely top of mind for customers for a variety of reasons a) they are planning Windows 7 migration and that's a good time to virtualize apps b) they are under increasing pressure to reduce costs and Application Virtualization for example can deliver on immediate cost savings c) for some companies, they are security/compliance bound and want to lock down the desktops in their datacenter d) workforces are increasingly mobile and users want to be able to get access to their data at all times - here's where user state virtualization and application virtualization are key.
