Lifehacker readers know that working from home or the road is more important than ever, and to showcase this, Lifehacker is looking for one reader to become our “IT Survivor” blogger. To celebrate the launch of VMware Horizon 6 — which allows organisations to deliver virtualised or remote desktops and applications through a single platform – we’ll be sending one reader and their significant other (or friend) to beautiful Magnetic Island in Queensland. Pretty awesome, right? Entering is easy…

VMware Horizon was built to address the demand for remote working, while also helping businesses manage enterprise data and security. Horizon 6, VMware’s latest Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), adds key new features like Horizon View with long-requested application publishing support. Virtual SAN and Hybrid Cloud have also been added to easily deploy virtual desktops in whatever combination suits your fancy. Download a free trial of Horizon 6 here.
How To Enter
Simply fill out the form below, answering the key question:
“What is your biggest barrier to working remotely?”
Example: Cannot access all my applications, too slow, not secure
We’re looking for interesting responses and stories based on situations your team and colleagues have found themselves in. Tales from the trenches as it were. We also need to see you can string some well-considered words together.

Too busy to take a holiday? Simply select the secondary prize option in the form below. The shiny new Dell Chromebook 11 (valued at $427.25) could be yours! (One total entry per person, so choose wisely).
We’re also planning a side competition to give you extra opportunities to win a Dell Chromebook 11 over the next few weeks — stay tuned for more details.
Competition Closed! Good Luck!
