But then came automated software...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 14 Mar 2006 02:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>566</guid></item><item><category>Technical Articles</category><title>Providing Desktops to Users: Centralized Virtual Machines or Terminal Server Desktops?</title><link>http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/Providing-Desktops-to-Users-Centralized-Virtual-Machines-or-Terminal-Server-Desktops</link><description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of noise in the past few weeks from companies like IBM, Citrix, and VMware pushing the idea of providing desktops to users in the form of virtual machine-based remote Windows XP desktops instead of the "traditional" way of publishing a desktop session on a Terminal Server or...]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 24 Oct 2005 12:30:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>513</guid></item><item><category>Editorials</category><title>Are Citrix's Linux Strategy and Microsoft's Bear Paw Strategy Related?</title><link>http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/Are-Citrixs-Linux-Strategy-and-Microsofts-Bear-Paw-Strategy-Related</link><description><![CDATA[In this editorial I?m going to suggest the possibility that Citrix?s Linux strategy and Microsoft?s Bear Paw strategy are related. Specifically, I wonder if this is a ?You scratch my back and I?ll scratch yours? scenario. I wonder if Microsoft?s decision to delay Bear Paw until the next platform...]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 22 Sep 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>250</guid></item><item><category>Editorials</category><title>Citrix's Road Ahead.

One of the things we talked about again and again was how surprised we were that Microsoft generally values our opinions and how different this is than the other large company we work with: Citrix.<br/>We?d like to take this opportunity...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Apr 2004 14:40:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>165</guid></item><item><category>Technical Articles</category><title>Will bladed PCs affect Citrix?</title><link>http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/Will-bladed-PCs-affect-Citrix</link><description><![CDATA[Some major investment firms have recently published reports indicating that Citrix will have to compete with a fairly new technology concept called a ?bladed PC.?
