Re: CTXS and Java "...whereby the Citrix server would act as the Java client..." jkb, Very interesting. So the Citrix server is the client when it comes to Java. I like this thought because, if I'm understanding this correctly, very Citrix-like because only screen refreshes are sent to the client. The Java app processing is done on the server. Right? "...But the argument that Java proponents raise is that why use Citrix at all in such situations when all that the remote client needs is a browser." Now I'm slightly confused. Are you saying in the latest wave of Internet Java applications, like Oracle's "i" initiatives, the processing of the applet is not done on the client? I couldn't figure this out from reading the Oracle information. That was my only guide. I guessed the processing was done on the client. In other words, the entire Java app itself had to be sent down the pipe to the client. Then the client had to do the processing work and spit the results out via it's browser. Thanks, MikeM(From Florida) PS I'm very curious to as to how the CTXS marketing department is going to make Java a good thing for Citrix. I've been surprised before in the world of tech investing so I wouldn't be surprised if there is some angle I never dreamed of.
