We have Citrix at my company......IT IS AWFUL and arcaic! So I can assume you will not be rushing out to try Larry's retreading of this idea? I suspect most potential users feel the same way. Citrix has been most useful in dedicated applications which require tight control and where the user is doing pretty much one or 2 things at a time, such as bank teller applications.

Citrix is great! Winframe and Metaframe from Citrix (including The Microsoft Terminal server) allow for a managed workstation, you can access most Windows applications from Terminals, and never have to upgrade them anymore. Users can't insert games, viruses etc into the system, their data is regularly backed up, if the terminal suddenly dies they can reconnect from any other workstation without losing a single keystroke of their work. etc etc etc. i can connect to my Windows system from home (450 KM away) together with other users. i'm writing this from a windows terminal connected to a multiuser server. check the CTXS thread/stock, With multiuser windows and terminals you turn an inherently unmanageable environment (windows) into a manageable one. Citrix has sold more than 2 millions licenses. CPQ keeps this phenomenon under close look, they are running joint roadshows (CPQ, MSFT, CTXS) at least here. B.
