Just got back from Summit. As we are all under NDA at this point I can only
speculate about a post that suggests that Citirx is planning to rename
flagship products to XEN. Hypothetically if that were true of this supposed
name change I would hypothetically fully support such a change. The IT world
is changing fast and virtualization is becoming the mainstream. A nice short
name that ties together multiple products into meaningful categories and
conveys the elegance and "virtualness" of XEN, along with it hybrid
opensource/commercial connotations and it's marketing approach of having a
free "light" version of it's flagship product, could overall a very good
thing, if such a thing were in fact to be announced publicly :-)
If said name change were to be made I think after the initial discomfort and
disruption of said hypothetical event, that may or may not be the stated
intention of Citrix, would, ultimately prove to be a very effective and bold
move forward in this evolving space...
That is, I would support such a move if it were in fact to occur :-)

The change of colors on their promotions, web page, etc., was a sign of
things to come.

I see them encompassing their virtual environments, by further expanding the
Xen name.

Indeed.
And as much as I dislike all the form over function marketeering, it's
not as if it's totally unexpected, is it.
I mean, how many name changes had occurred before it was called
Presentation Server?
Eventually it'll come full circle, and be called Winframe ;-) (and yes,
I'm kinda glossing over the first product they had, because it's not
really the same...)
