Ya can sell it [a $150 box running Citrix and Windows apps off a server farm] to a computer Engineer who hates Gates, but you will never sell it to the suits

I recall reading here that 98 of the top 100 corporations have adopted Citrix to one degree or another. It's attraction is lower overall cost to operate, and central administration of the applications.

I do not mean to imply Microsoft is in danger. Only that a basic desktop box, a high bandwidth LAN, and applications on fast servers are going to become more prevalent in the corporate world than the standalone desktop model we have today.

The "I hate Bill Gates" issue is emotional, and not something the suits I know base decisions on.
