Therefore, this is a very interesting management tool for users who need to make sure that neither mobility nor multi-device access are an obstacle.

Virtual desktops are intended to be application launchers. This means that applications and web services may be added to them, so that they may be accessible at any time and from any device. Netvibes and Symbaloo are two of the most popular virtual desktop applications.
