| Good point.
I think if a VDI session stayed thematically "true" to the spirit of
the conference, it might be an interesting addition.
Heck, I'm starting to do more and more Identity sessions at
SharePoint- and dev-centered events, because it's got relevance beyond
just "a roomful of AD guys"...but it works because the sessions are
tailored. IOW, I don't stand up at a .NET Code Camp and do "RODC 101",
because eyes would glaze over.
I'm sure the same principle applies here.
