>Companies such as NCD and Wyse finally see another option, and jump on it...after two years of being raped by Citrix< I read the last few posts about NCDI and WYSE. I don't quite understand what's going on? Don't these companies simply license part of the ICA protocol developed by Citrix? I know I'm missing something, but what? Why would anyone think Citrix has "raped" both NCDI and WYSE? Oh...I think I get it. Both these companies are saying they can also support Microsoft's version of the ICA protocol. If they do, then they don't pay royalties to Citrix. "RDP" protocol must be the competing technology that Microsoft developed that hasn't gotten good reviews. Is this still the $64,000 question? Whether or not Microsoft is going to develop their own version of Citrix's ICA protocol? I thought this issue was settled with their agreement last year. Microsoft had to use Citrix's protocol for 5 years and promote it. What did I get wrong? Obviously something? Any help to clear up this issue will probably be appreciated by lots of people who still don't quite understand the deal between Microsoft and Citrix. Thanks, MikeM(From Florida)
