I am there now! But heck, I can multitask too....
Not to mention I'm working while the others are speaking.... :-)
But really, what I want to do is run OS X in a VM. I heard you can do
it, I have not seen it though... not to mention, I do not have a copy
it... Has anyone tried it?
OK, I guess I better get back to this show. It is great stuff... RES is
speaking right now and I just love their software. Then it is
Softricity's turn... I want to learn more about their new CEO! :-)
Have a great day all!

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? :)

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.
