  • Oracle VDI: Just for people who already use other Oracle products?

    Oracle does not usually fall within our realm of coverage, but when there’s a 45,000-person conference just down the street, we certainly notice. (Plus they do actually have a VDI solution. :) Well... they inherited a VDI solution when they bought...

  • Please tell me why I should care about Sun?

    I've been getting lots of crap from the commenters on BrianMadden.com accusing me of ignoring Sun's desktop virtualization offerings. And these people have a point. I have been ignoring Sun. I just don't "get" why anyone would use...

  • Should Citrix hire Scott McNealy?

    Should Citrix should hire Scott McNealy? My odd thought for the day. I try not to share them too often. Assuming the EU doesn’t hold things up forever, once the Oracle/Sun merger completes it is widely assumed that Sun Microsystems co-founder and...

  • Sun Rays get a firmware upgrade for better video performance. Wait... what?

    InternetWeek reported a few weeks ago that new firmware for Sun Ray clients is available , and that one of the key new features is multimedia redirection. This is funny because I thought the whole point of Sun Rays was they were so thin? Check out this...
