Re: Xen Desktop Technology Showcase
Pretty cool looking in the videos. Are these clips that you took of your machine or some that you found on the web? I've honestly never heard of Citrix or Xen so I will have to do some research.

Re: Xen Desktop Technology Showcase
Those are both videos I found whilst browsing YouTube. Basically ICA is an alternative network protocol to other common remote desktop network protocols such as RDP and is used to transfer data between clients and servers. It was developed by Citrix which is the reason its used with XenDesktop. There is a slightly more lengthy explaination here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independen … chitecture) with some links to other resources. I'm looking to trial XenDesktop as soon as I get chance, think it looks like a very promising centrally managed Desktop solution

Re: Xen Desktop Technology Showcase
Why are you looking at XenDesktop over VMware? I am curious as I am just getting into this and would be interested to know what their strengths are.
