  • VMware puts its EUC money where its mouth is

    When the VMware View iPad client hit the App Store last year, I argued it was a lesson in contradiction : On one hand, VMware says Windows is on its way out, and on the other hand, VMware keeps Windows alive on the hottest non-Windows device on the market. Now fast forward a year. VMware View 5.1 just hit the market with a new, less Windows-centric approach that better aligns with the company's...

  • Podio feels like another portal, Citrix could make it into the "desktop" of the future

    The Podio acquisition announcement and subsequent demo at Citrix Synergy last week brought on a lot of applause, and while that was going on, Brian and I looked at each other and shrugged. We were both thinking the same thing: "Been there, done that....
