VDI FEATURES COMPARISON
Each desktop virtualization product has its own functionality and feature-set. This comparison below describes the features in a very detailed way.We did our best to be truthful and accurate in investigating and writing-down the different features.When you see improvements please let me know @ahsantasneem.
This matrix is developed with the following virtualization products and versions:

PRODUCT VERSION

Citrix XenDesktop            5.0                                                     December 2010
Microsoft VDI/RDS           2008 R2 SP1 (RFX)                       February 2011
Quest vWorkspace           7.2                                                    December 2010
VMware View                     4.6                                                    February 2011

FEATURES COMPARISON MATRIX










CONCLUSION 
Which Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Solution is THE best? Without a better understanding of the requirements in general it‟s impossible to give an accurate and profound answer in THE question. It's important to have a Vision and Strategy around Application and Desktop Delivery. Designing, building, managing and maintaining the vDesktop infrastructure using the right Technologies, corresponding vendors and products is an important step. “This comparison is very useful resource in this journey!”

Keep in mind: “VDI fits for every customer but not for every desktop”

Note: Just wanted to add that we are currently testing two different VDI's in our environment (Citrix Xendesktop & Vmware View) any questions related to this article can be posted in the comments section or @ahsantasneem
