Nope and they go around telling customers that Citrix sucks. They tell folks to throw out their Citrix investment. What a joke. I think Jim Kenzig should invite them in for a demo so they can start trashing Citrix. I am sure Jim would tear them a new one in about 2 seconds. His story would make great reading material. :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Oglesby" <roglesby@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 1:36 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Softricity and Citrix For sure, even if appstream thinks their product solves more problems... they don't virtualize worth a damn.

Of course they try to compete with Citrix. Told one of my clients that performance over a WAN was better with their product!!!!!! I almost fell out of my chair seeing how this company was centralizing their data. Anyway there are other LIKE technologies.

I thought the rumors had died down. From first hand experience, I can tell you that it would be a major undertaking for Citrix, one that would be difficult to keep quiet. As to experience, I'd be biased. But there are several others on this list with objective experience. Timothy R.

Can anybody confirm or deny these rumors? I also wouldn't mind some feedback about first hand experience with the Softricity product, if anybody is willing to discuss it.
