Earlier this week there was some discussion about whether or not Citrix's technology is superior to the competition.

Well, I just got the latest issue of PC Magazine (July 2000). It includes a benchmark comparison of several thin client solutions. The title is "Thin is In".

To be fair, I should point out that GOJO's product and SCO's Tarantella weren't tested. Or at least, they weren't among the products in the report. But that says something in itself.

Here's a quote: "Among the Windows-based solutions, Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 for Windows 2000 was the clear winner at lower bandwidths." The tests indicated that at high bandwidths (T1 and above)there wasn't much of a difference between any of the products tested.

To see the comprehensive report on thin-client research, readers are directed to: columbia.edu

It's nice to see some confirmation that Citrix does have winning products, and that there is enough interest in thin client solutions that PC Magazine is reporting on them.
