Microsoft will be adding published application, seamless Windows, and
rumored to have resource based load balancing.  With RDP vs. ICA being
just about equal it moves Microsoft much closer to closing the gap. Plus
cost will be a big deal?

I'm interested in your thoughts about Vista making Citrix less
attractive. Care to elaborate?

        We have been evaluating Softricity in our TS environment and
basically really like the idea of Virtualizing our applications. We have
tested about a dozen apps and with a little tweaking seem to be working
fine. We have looked at AIE from Citrix but had a bunch of problems
especially coming up with packages that would need to be deployed via
IM. Plus with Vista we might be closer to not using Citrix so we are not
leaning towards making Citrix our Application Virtualization standard. I
just wanted to know before we make the final investment with Softricity
If anyone else is using it and what have been your experiences. Good ?
Bad? It sucks? What apps will not work? Best practices?

         

        Thanks,
