Dreydoc,

can Citrix foster the developer critical mass so desperately needed and not founder in the fragmentation of Java/Jini's wake?

I don't think we need to worry about Java/Jini for a while yet. The best intelligence I have tells me that Java is still way too big for smaller handhelds. While putting Java in a phone or PDA is nice and doable, it isn't practical.

We will have to start worrying about Java when Java starts appearing widely in normal Web sites. I haven't had the opportunity to investigate the overhead and performance of Java 1.3. Supposedly, this version is tuned to be a good client platform. If so, we may see increased acceptance of Java and that would be an important milestone for Java and a small negative for Citrix. Even if Java 1.3 works well on a PC, there is still quite a step to go for Java to scale down effective into a phone or PDA.
