Herc, In the case of Winframe, all of the data is on the server. All of the programs are on the server. Only the client is on the local machine, and it just processes screen, keyboard, mouse and other similar I/O. The ICA protocol lets the server and client exchange that data very efficiently, keeping slow screen "painting" to a minimum. It can also handle file transfers between the 2 systems, and multiple active process windows simultaneously, but that's about it. There is no distributed processing as is the case with applets. Oh, and the Citrix client is free. The cost is on the server end, in terms of core and concurrent seat licensing.
