re: WinFrame for WorkGroups

We (and the other WinFrame OEMs) have had this product for over a year. It's basically just a redone licensing deal. You get a 5 user license versus a 15 user license. The technical difference is that with the 15 user base you can hook up unlimited client seats with a free ICA client utility. With the 5 user license you have a special, for fee, ICA client.

The genesis of the 5 user pack is the Wyse WinTerm. They convinced Citrix that in a totally dedicated 'Windows terminal' scenario, they needed a smaller starting package. The standard Citrix model was one of occasional access, (a PC user getting to another app, a Unix/X user running Word once in a while), but since a Wyse WinTerm is too braindead to talk to anything but a single server, (er, I mean is dedicated to optimizing access to NT - is that a nicer way to talk about a competitor? :), this pricing/packaging didn't work for them. Hence the 5 pack.
