Doug, you are truly a unique individual :-)

 

From my point of view an acquisition of Citrix by MS would a lot like that
comet that arrived during the ecosystem of the dinosaur, remember that one?
The results on the SBC/Virtualization ecosystem would be about the
same..!!!!

*       That Microsoft MVP you got is looking better and better Steve, Huh? 

 

Hmmm, since I am also a CTP doesn't that mean I am losing an award?

Actually I would HIGHLY prefer it to be HP at this point.  I think it would
be a smart move on their part. Who better than HP to have the ability to
create the Citrix Mobile Virtual Workplace Client  (remember iForum 2001
http://citrixblogger.org/2008/03/08/citrix-virtual-workplace-2001/) loved
the Oh we just switched to another server part.  Still a fantasy.

So, the latest one is that MS, or HP, is buying Citrix and there will be an
announcement Friday. I always write these off but this time, think about
this:

 

1) Citrix recently moved all distribution through Ingram solely
2) They are actively cost cutting
3) Stock is low right now
4) Public message is that MS and Citrix will undercut and beat VMWare
*together* over the next year
5) HP and MS have cash

 

 

Hmmmm... will I need a new career if this happens?? How about you?
