wow.
it would be beneficial.
because, perhaps we could just lock (only we can access the confidential part of our work) so that others can not access the data we work in vain, because there's definitely a "company secret, or secrets of our finances."
while in private life, we would not be mixed with the "work" so it will be neatly arranged.

It is great to see that VMware has improved the way they do virtualisation.

"Users would be able to have two phone numbers and data accounts on the same smartphone."

ok we can do it with dual sims phones, but in this case what kind of Sim it will use?

If I understand correctly, you would only use your personal sim:
Quoted from the source: "(...)and then the IT department can issue the virtual work phone over-the-air."

Agreed, the thought of it fills me with excitement!

This is another reason why they're at the top of the pack and re-enforces my thoughts on the whole discussion with Windows 8 wiping them out (well not that bad but still) on the server side market....
