Desktop as a Service: Where is DaaS used?

The era of desktop computing is disappearing. More and more businesses are looking for ways to streamline their IT costs by moving toward a more managed service environment. Desktop as a Service (DaaS) has become an increasingly attractive option for those who work on mission critical projects and need constant support with hardware/software issues, don't want the costs associated with logistics, for the ones looking for a remote workforce option, and for those who don't want to participate in training employees/students on desktop life cycle.
