How does saving USD 77 million sound? Intel’s initiative to virtualize its design center reaps cost benefits as this article from the Intel Premier IT Professional magazine documents.

By managing client PCs as a strategic asset, Intel IT reduced the TCO, achieving a 67 percent reduction from 1995 to 2006.
