Virtual Computer Announces NxTop Now!

Market Leader Releases NxTop 1.0, the Industry`s First PC Lifecycle Management
Solution Based on `Bare-Metal` Client Virtualization
WESTFORD, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Virtual Computer Inc., the company redefining PC lifecycle management through
virtualization, today announced its NxTop Now! program and NxTop 1.0, the first
client-side virtualization technology that supports central management and
distributed execution. On the heels of a successful beta program, NxTop Now!
delivers price incentives and enhanced support for early adopters of the NxTop
1.0 product release. All beta customers are invited to participate in NxTop Now!
and new customers can request an invitation at
http://www.virtualcomputer.com/purchase.

"Within the Gartner Magic Quadrant for PC Life Cycle Configuration Management,
we predicted that PC lifecycle management would be transformed by virtualization
technology in 2009," said Ronni Coville, VP distinguished analyst, Gartner. "The
PC lifecycle configuration management tool market is mature, but virtualization,
mobility, and the convergence of security and operations are affecting customer
buying decisions. Desktop managers are now recognizing the value of how
virtualization technologies can compliment, supplement or augment PC
configuration management tools, especially for supporting mobile users and other
roaming scenarios."

Demand for NxTop has been overwhelming. NxTop Now! responds to this demand and
delivers a controlled release to interested organizations as Virtual Computer
builds scalability into its support infrastructure. Building on the success of
its product advisory council (PAC) and beta program, Virtual Computer is
pre-qualifying organizations as early-adopters of NxTop 1.0 to assure a smooth
implementation and offer pricing incentives to qualified organizations that aim
to simplify PC management.

"NxTop has been under development since November 2007," said Dan McCall,
president and CEO of Virtual Computer. "I could not be more excited about the
work our engineering team has done to turn our vision for the next generation
desktop into a reality that you can purchase today. This is the beginning of a
new era in personal computing."

Unlike point desktop virtualization solutions, NxTop includes everything a
desktop manager needs to regain control of its managed PCs. The NxTop platform
consists of two components:

* NxTop Engine: A "bare metal" hypervisor and management control framework
capable of running and servicing virtual desktops directly on PC hardware.
* NxTop Center: A feature-rich management console used by IT administrators to
create, manage, and maintain virtual desktop environments centrally.

NxTop delivers provisioning, publishing and patching of the base operating
system on a one-to-many basis; as well as user data and profile backup and
recovery. The PC management solution also delivers key security features
including cryptographic disk and remote kill. IT managers can also enable and
disable specific classes of USB devices, specify back-up schedules, or even
specify the lifetime of a NxTop via an expiration policy.
