At work I have a wyse xenith thin client on my desk that I use with Xen Desktop 5 VDI. I use Xen desktop to launch VM templates that contain my development tools like perforce and visual studio. I really do not feel any difference between using my laptop or the thin client when I am on my desk. The only advantage I can see for the laptop is portability.

However after my research I am really not convinced if EC2 or for that matter without guarantee of persistence machine images are the right places to host a database heavy application. Sure you have EBS and you have the promise of Async backups using duplicity to S3 but there is very little data about the performance and reliability. The only way of achieving scaling looks to be adding more nodes and that itself may not be a very optimal solution. I would like to ask the Slashdot readers their experience of hosting databases on clouds like EC2, GoGrid etc. and what really works in real life."
