The iPad is Great, but Virtualizing the MacBook Air is about Pure Productivity Bliss

I had the chance to make the short trip up to San Francisco last week for the RSA Conference. I had some terrific meetings lined up, and also had some downtime scheduled in between a few of them. Being the “exemplary” 21st century executive that I always strive to be, I figured I could catch [...]
