Anyone have any clue about Apps that allow me open a virtual machine file from my iPad? Running a virtual machine on an iPad requires a kernel and sufficient CPU support, which is not available on iPads at this time. There are no easy wins for running a windows VM on iOS Use native apps or Remote Desktop to a small PC or co-located one is the best current option. Apple has an explicit hypervisor entitlement listed in the App Store Review guidelines and I disagree with the lack of CPU and kernel support since multiple third party books are written on iOS internals in addition to Apple providing SDK, headers and many developer resources.
In the App Store Review guidelines, Apple says it offers limited hypervisor entitlements but no broad prohibition of apps being shipped.
Hypervisor are not under some fairly broad restrictions placed on Remote Desktop apps. The other answers here assume you're trying to run the virtual machine on the iPad processor itself, and they're right that the power isn't there. However, you can run Microsoft RDP among others, but that app is pretty good and connect over a network to a Windows "machine" running somewhere else.
If your iPad user doesn't have a way to connect over the network, the rest of my answer here won't be of much help. Be sure that the virtual Windows machine is getting an IP address from the network and not being NAT-ed behind the network address of the host machine.
And if your user has decent Internet bandwidth, the same principles could be used to connect to a virtual machine running just about anywhere. Amazon's has a service called WorkSpaces cloud deskop solution is free for a few months tto new AWS accounts. VMware View Client for iPad isn't the only method for connecting iPad users to their centrally hosted virtual machines. Citrix offers a competing solution called Citrix Receiver. Citrix's iPad app takes a slightly different approach to interacting with a virtual machine.
Rather than displaying on-screen controls for manipulating a point-and-click desktop interface, Citrix Receiver presents users with "iPad-optimized" versions of popular desktop applications like PowerPoint and Excel. The app offers users a "responsive and flexible" experience provided by the PC-over-IP PCoIP display protocol; an intuitive interface driven by multi-touch gestures and an onscreen track pad for precision control; powerful security with support for VMware View Security Server; the ability to quickly reconnect with recently used virtual desktops; and support for external keyboards and the iPad VGA connector.
