Mike:

I understand that larger companies get better discounts.

However, they have no physical product to deliver, so their gross margin would be very close to 100 percent.

Also, if the sale is direct compared to through a reseller, then the reseller doesn't get a cut.

Or, will these sales still go through resellers?

Is anybody worried about all these software companies rewriting their software to run remotely, obviating the need for Citrix in the first place.

What at one time looked like a big opportunity for Citrix (ASP model) now looks like Citrix could be left out of the equation big-time.

And an application would be much more efficient with a design with remote access in mind compared to the brute-force method Citrix uses.
