Didn't the guy say that you needed a Vista client to use the RDP Gateway? 

 

And since the shortcuts are delivered through .msi, this seems to restrict it 
to Windows machines.

 

The Web Interface they demoed did not look like a packaged product but rather a 
customized solution that uses the RDP
ActiveX control.

 

I'm still waiting to here how they integrate the newer graphics intense 
applications like Office 12. I believe this is
the Avalon integration they mentioned.

Doug, 

 

Great points! The other thing to consider is that there are two or three other 
products out already that add seamless
and or published apps to TS and they have not hurt Citrix to date.........

I agree with you Steve!   Yah, the new TS stuff is very impressive and it will 
cut in to some of the business Citrix
picks as some customers will say, "Is TS good enough?"   

 

But, some want a product that will completely round out the TS experience and 
supply killer management, security and
control around the protocol.  This is where Citrix comes in to the picture.  I 
think it will be like an Oracle deal, I
mean, people buy Oracle because they NEED the best but they settle for MS SQL 
because it is good enough.  (Until SQL
2005!)  

 

I also agree with Steve's comments about some of this stuff shipping in 2007 
and some of it is going to be further down
the road.  As we have always said, Citrix is years ahead of Microsoft so it 
will be interesting what Presentation Server
will be doing in 2007 and beyond.  But then it comes back to the question, "Do 
we need that or not, is TS good enough to
supply us remote access and access to applications that are bandwidth 
intensive?"  This is the important question and
this cannot be answered until 2007.     

 

Of course, you must not just look at Microsoft for competition to Citrix.  What 
about the Blade PC, VMware Ace and/or
SoftGrid applications?  They all cut in to the value-add that SBC brings to 
you.   I guess it is time to reassess the
market, or will be in 2007.. ;)

> Buh bye Citrix

 

I don't necessarily agree, Citrix is a lot more than publish apps. I haven't 
seen the video, but I suspect that MS's
version has a number of limitations with things such as client version 
supported. Also, if this is a 2007 product then I
don't expect Citrix's customer base to wait until then, and, Citirx is not 
sitting still !!!
