Worth mentioning that Web Interface 5.4 is going to remain supported into
XenDesktop 7.x for those of you that don't want to move to storefront yet.
 Storefront does have many advantages though.  i would not dismiss it
without understanding those first.

I know folders support in Storefront is coming in the next release, plus a
few other things people have been asking for.  Citrix is taking customer
feedback very seriously and the things people are asking for are being
added to the products.  Just saw a presentation on this yesterday.
 Unfortunately, I can't share the details with you.  What I can share is
that a 6 month release cycle is the goal, and all the features they took
out with 7.0 are coming back.  Plus some new ones.
