"This is a grey area for our customers," said Hug. The Microsoft VDA license could end up being $100 per user annually or more or even zero. The Horizon View license can range between $150 to $250 per user, averaging $175 per user. "I've read it 13 times and each time I see a new meaning." He said VDA is roughly $100 per user but several variables come into play, including whether you are using your primary device to access your VDA, or whether it's a smartphone or tablet, which can add an extra $75 per user, he said. "The most confusing piece is the Microsoft VDA license," Hug said. But in making the argument for VMware Horizon View, he acknowledged the hardest part of coming up with the cost estimate involves Microsoft's licensing of Windows 7 under its Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) plan. "VDI is not cheap but it's cheap when compared to physical desktops," Hug said.
