You fail to grasp the value of bloomberg terminal. The UI has in fact, evolved, but it has never changed. For example, higher DPI screen sizes, the UI is now instrumented in a web browser, no longer the the old TUI. It is fast, it is famili

VDI is actually preferred by our security teams, because they have complete deep packet inspection on literally all traffic going in and out. On our laptops, there are still some flows that avoid the vpn etc..
