Anything is better than MetaFrame XP. Management where I worked got it
confused with Windows XP and Office XP and somehow thought they were all
related no matter how many times I explained it.

The worst part is changing the server names - I use a 3 character identifier
for server type, so Citrix servers went from WFS (WinFrame Server) to MFS
(MetaFrame Server) to XPS (XP Server), then to MPS (MetaFrame Presentation
Server). The next batch will just be plain old CTX for Citrix :)
