Thinix has released Touch VDI, a touch friendly offering for Microsoft Windows based virtual computers, which can be installed as a shell replacement for XP or Windows 7 based virtual computers.

The company said that its new desktop provides one touch access to applications, files, folders, Cloud based applications, and network resources such as print and file services.

It features integrated security options that give network administrators the ability to secure the desktop and eliminate access to unnecessary applications.

Thinix said that Touch works with remote desktop protocol, as well as PCoIP, ICA and other protocols.

Wyse PocketCloud client can be used from an Apple iPad to connect to a Windows 7 based virtual desktop running Touch VDI.

Touch VDI works in Microsoft, Citrix and VMware virtual desktop environments.

Thinix Chief Technology Officer Don Van Oort said that the Touch VDI supports dynamic screen scaling, dynamic rotation, advanced automatic keyboard technology and other tools to make using a Windows computer possible from a touch device with or without a keyboard and mouse.

"Thinix Touch VDI dramatically extends the power and security of Windows 7 and allows you to access your desktop from whatever device you prefer – Windows, Apple iPad, Android, MacOS, PalmOS, Linux – doesn’t matter," Van Oort said.
