I don't know much about this end of the business. Can anyone tell me who the biggest competitors to Citrix are and how are they competing? What are the major issues? Thanks, Dale

Re: CTXS and SUNW Relationship I'm counting on you :) to call investor relations to determine if the author is correct in writing that Sun is a licensee Mike, Never read your post until just today. I had gone on vacation right after you sent your message to me and I just read it today. What made me stumble across your message was an article in the latest Network World about Sun Microsystems' Sun Ray project. When I was reading it, the technology sounds remarkably similar to ICA. So much so I went to the Citrix website and found the article below. As you can see it's quite old. _____________ Fort Lauderdale -- Sept 5, 1996 Citrix Systems, Inc. today announced it has signed a non-binding letter of intent with Sun Microsystems, Inc. Under the L.O.I., the companies plan to negotiate a license for Citrix's ICA© distributed Windows protocol for inclusion in future products by Sun Microsystems, Inc. _____________ Currently something is going on between them and I don't know what it is. I don't think any of us put it together yet. If I'm mistaken, let me know. But as you may recall, here is what I previously posted about what I know about their relationship: Message 11299330 _____________ And here is the current article that I just finished reading in my hard copy of Network World. The article never mentioned anything about Citrix: nwfusion.com "As users work with the keyboard and mouse, the key and click sequences are sent to the server. There, an application executes or the server connects with another application server on the LAN. As the application runs and creates changes in the display, the only information being sent back to the Sun Ray device is instructions on what individual pixels to turn on or off. "We were shocked at how well this repartitioning worked," Northcutt says. "We found we didn't burn that much bandwidth because we're only sending pixel changes over the wire. And most of the pixels don't change from second to second." Sounds very familiar doesn't it? MikeM(From Florida)
