Red,

Now that you've spilled the beans, ... :)

The last couple of days I've been trying to get a handle on that ICA licensing growth as you've probably noticed in the Citrix folder. Especially important to me is the accelerating growth in the last few months because that's a classic symptom of a tornado as described in the manual.

In the last four months, ICA licensing jumped from 3.5 million to 6 million licenses. That's a 2.5 million increase. More important, it's an 83% increase in just four months. I wasn't going to mention it, but now that you've spilled the beans :) I've got to. It looks like a tornado.

The reason I haven't mentioned it is because I'm perplexed as to why the growth of ICA licenses is not reflected in the revenue growth. Until I understand that, I'm not willing to say Citrix is in a tornado. I have a call into Investor Relations but don't expect to hear back until later this week.

Can anyone explain to me why the licensing growth isn't reflected in the revenue growth?
