Creating a well thought out and well tuned Windows XP Template is important for a successful VDI implementation.  My intent for this whitepaper is that it will guide you in developing a solid VDI Desktop standard for your organization.  Included in this whitepaper is information to assist in reducing your Windows XP footprint and to apply best practices to the Windows XP configuration for improved performance, manageability, and reliability of your VDI environment.  Since computer environments can vary from one organization to another, it is recommended that all best practices listed in this document be tested in your test VDI environment to ensure that it is helps and not hinder your VDI solution.
