Voting for the Underdog techweb.com To bolster its hardware sales, NCD developed the ThinPath software suite, which provides local device support and load-balancing at a relatively low cost when compared with MetaFrame. This move triggered a series of events, among them Citrix's decision to offer Citrix Device Services, a no-cost software solution that provides local device support for Windows terminals, without the need to license MetaFrame. NCD countered by announcing that it would give away its ThinPath software. NCD even offered the software to Windows terminal vendors, but so far there have been no takers. Was NCD bold in its decision to take on Citrix, or was it foolish? As a customer, would you be willing to buy into the NCD solution instead of aligning yourself with Citrix?
