Has the Future of Enteprise Workstations Arrived?

Well, actually it will arrive in March per Intel’s CES 2015 announcement.  You can think of the Compute Stick as an oversized USB drive that utilizes the HDMI port on a monitor and boots to Windows.  With initial reported costs of around $149, will this be the direction that enterprises head with their PC refresh in the future?  If I were still in IT operations, I would definitely be researching this solution as it is cheaper than traditional workstations and the promise of VDI.
