Although virtualization takes several forms, some approaches are more popular than others. User state virtualization links data with configuration settings. It stores information on a server that can then be accessed by any connected user, from any desktop on the network.

Session virtualization and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is based on the thin client model made popular by VMWare, Citrix and other developers.
