This book wouldn't have happened without support from key EUC vendors. Special thanks to Kevin Cooke at Liquidware for assisting with end user life cycle management, and thanks to Adam Gleeson at Computerworld for providing insight into the new features of Horizon and giving me access to the EUC demo lab.
