<<Java isn't the threat you think it is. :) It's definitely a lot less of a threat today than yesterday.>> Correct. My consultancy integrates both for a living - we are impartial. It's near 100% of the time that we integrate Citrix solutions - versus java or html pages. Clients demand client/server application speed - and demand the same application functionality that client/server applications deliver. Neither of which is available under Java today - nor do I see it happening on a global basis in the next few years - and not likely post that either. Citrix is the defacto way that clients are deploying applications in corporate America now - especially in remote access (mobile computing and remote office connectivity) - and we are now seeing larger demand for LAN based centralized applications (via Citrix). I see less and less true fat workstations - and more centralized Citrix based applications. The total demand has been wonderful for our services business.
