You hit one Dawg.
I follow ctxs and have been in and out.
If you study them close you will realize they have a monopoly on thin clients using NT.
They went to battle with big ms and won already.
What they do is allow applications to run on the server as opposed to the client workstation. Just the bitmaps get transferred (that was a slightly misleading statement but in spirit correct).
The technology is a big deal for corporate data centers that have to manage the workstations.
Imagine updating one server's software vs. hundreds of clients?
Also its interesting for slower clients and a very fast server. Saves money there too.
CTXS is a winner.
