I kind of get it in shared PC scenario, but it sounds weird to use corporate PC to just connect to Cloud PC. Why? This seems like a fridge case. If you have good corporate PC, you use it, not some crappier VDI experience. Especially for this offline mode. Essentially you need at least similar power physical machine to be able to emulate Cloud PC offline. Why don't then just use that powerful PC. Also from security standpoint i am not sure this is fine to cache everything from Cloud PC locally on the host. Isolation is one of the key features of using VDI. Your data stays in cloud and is not offloaded somewhere insecure. And i don't know what most companies do, but in our case all VDI users are not our employees, but contractors coming from PCs not managed by us or even crappy home devices. For sure boot and desktop integration and offline mode is not required in such case (some are not even using Windows). These features look flashy and dandy, but i fail to see real benefit in real world scenarios.
