Unless they mean it'll instantly show a loading screen, I'll bet it doesn't.
I've used various VDI implementations over the years, and they've all been pretty slow to get to a working desktop.
I also wonder about latency. I have a 100/20 FTTC connection at home, which I find to be fast. Most recent VDI I used was Citrix, where I was expected to code in a VDI hosted in Netherlands (I'm in the UK) - the latency when typing drove me fucking NUTS! It was mostly just long enough to be intensely irritating and distracting, but occasionally latency would increase to a few seconds too.
