I can get by using the built-in native apps on my phone with Continuum now, but having the option of streaming full desktop apps is also a bonus. I can see this feature being extremely useful for businesses who still use older, legacy programs of a specialty nature, but as someone who's all-in on the UWP ecosystem, this isn't a necessity for me. A simpler analogy is HP Workspace acts as a middleman between the Elite x3 and your desktop app.

You can still download and upload files, and even install browser extensions just like on a real PC, just remotely. Virtualization is a fancy term that means a remote computer runs a desktop app and pushes the interface it through the internet to another computer.

They all worked as I expected them to as if I was running them on a real PC, because technically I was. I tried out a number of programs, including the full Office 2013 suite, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 11, Slack, and a few others. You can also upload documents to the server directly from your phone, which is great if you need to open a Word document in the full Office suite, rather than the mobile versions. Some neat features that the HP Workspace offers is the ability to directly link your Dropbox, Google Drive or Box accounts to the virtual environment, allowing you to upload and download files to and from your file sharing services with ease. HP offers a free 60-day trial of the service. Finally, a $2,995 plan puts VPN on top of that for security. A Premium plan is $939 per user per year with up to 80 hours of access with an unlimited number of virtualized applications. Workspace runs from $579 per year per employee for 40 hours of access every month for up to ten applications.
