Anyone else notice the large increase in number of Apple Mac users at BriForum this year?  Last year there were a handful, this year it seems like almost half the attendees are using Macs....VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!

Yes. I gotta find out what this is all about. Maybe there is something to the rumors about MACs...

I don't know.  Sounds like all of the video problems were due to the fact that they had to use VGA video capture to adapt for the Mac users.  Also note that all the Mac users were running VMWare so they could run Windows apps and demonstrations.  Why don't you just cut out the middle man and have everyone just install XenServer or ESX server as their operating system.

I totally noticed it, it was very refreshing to see that! The new Mac OS X ICA client comes very handy. New version 10.601 with XenDesktop support -> http://community.citrix.com/x/9QD7AQ

I just got my Mac Pro dual quad core with 4gb ram in April, runs like a champ.  Windows runs great on it too, in both boot camp and VMware fusion.

Am also very happy with my purchase last year. Now if only I wasn't constantly coerced into hating Microsoft by Apple fanboys or harrassed by MS fanboys just because i own a Mac i'd be really happy.


Can't we just all get along? *puts on Bono CD and sways lighter in the air*

Yes,  you and Steve convinced me to buy one while I was there!  I'm using it now from the airport.

OS X is dead sexy but I just can't bring myself to purchase a Mac yet. :-)

Maybe next year!!!

Talking of Mac's is it Parallel that they were using to create "virtual" machines on their Mac notebooks?  is this the equivalent to VmWare Workstation but for the Mac?
