Yes - I played with it.  You need the ICA8 client to use it.  The new
setting is basically a number of seconds to buffer.  On a good LAN
connection with an overpowered server it doesn't matter.

There was a request to talk about the new features.  Time to move to a =
new
thread.

One of the touted enhancements for 3.0 is multimedia.  The Citrix demo
looked great - but it was a demo, right?  You never know what your =
mileage
will be until you try it yourself.

So I loaded up 3.0.  Launch the windows media player and watch a movie
trailer.  This is over a local LAN connection mind you.  The server CPU =
was
purring.  Saw about 10% of the bandwidth used and it didn't look bad,
although nothing like the demo.  There was some skipiness to the video, =
and
the audio was a little out of sync.

Then I remembered that I needed the 8.0 client to enable the =
enhancements.
So off I go and load that in.  The result was not usable.  The audio is =
way
off now.  And it hangs.  I'll have to try it on another machine, but =
wfica32
wants to use up all the client CPU.  Hopefully it's just a bad upgrade, =
but
the early results doesn't look like a feature to allow, even in a =
limited
use.

PS:  The movie "Laws of Attraction" looks like a pass, too.
