Well done Tim.  There will be demand for all of these products.  Nobody
has the answer for everything.  It's like asking which is better.  SMS,
Altiris, Landesk etc...  They all have their place and determining which
one is the best depends on many many factors.  What size is the
organization, what are you trying to accomplish?  blah blah blah...  The
same goes for Virtual PC and VMware.  Their are reasons to pick one over
the other.  I have customers that use both and swear by both.  

 

Now for a serious question.  Which is better, a PC or a MAC?  :)

 

Jim

        I tried, but I can't stay out of this subject.  Predictions:

         

        1) Longhorn will not make citrix irrelevant.

        2) There will be customers that choose native terminal services
over citrix because longhorn is "good enough" considering $$

        3) Citrix will not make Softricity irrelevant.

        4) There will be customers that choose AIE and whatever citrix
renames "Tarpon" into over softricity, because it is "good enough".

        5) Most customers that have a specific need will choose the best
solution.  Softricity always will do app virtualization better than
citrix, citrix will always do remote users better than microsoft.

        6) Best of all, you don't really have to choose.  You can still
run softgrid using citrix on microsoft terminal servers.  Even if they
publicly feud.
