How to: Get up to speed with Windows Azure. Deploying your personal test lab, fast!
During the last couple of weekends I have been playing with Microsoft Azure.

XenDesktop 7.x internals continued… The Server VDA in more detail.
Although the new FMA based Server VDA has been built from the ground up it still has a lot of similarities when compared to the ‘old’ ICA protocol stack deployed with XenApp 6.5 and earlier versions.
