Mike thanks for your response. This is what I thought it was. I will check out the web site that you mention - however - I would be interested in your opinions regarding:

-Clients purchasing this 'leased' hardware and Citrix software from ASP's - aren't the clients concerned about security from the ASP potentially stealing/hacking the data? What about other ASP clients sharing the same Citrix server? Isn't that a security risk? Seems a lot risky to me.

-I'm also interested about the comments from Citrix saying that integrators have been asking for Citrix to pursue this avenue further on their behalf. Seems to me that ASP's are competition for integrator installs of Citrix servers and applications on Citrix servers - specifically those installs where clients buy the hardware/Citrix software and maintain the environment at their site(s).

-Are these ASP's making their Citrix servers available over the public Internet or over private networks such as AT&T/WorldCom's/etc.?

-What role is Citrix specifically playing in this ASP market? Will they become an ASP themselves or help drive sales and marketing for ASP partners?
