Microsoft and Citrix...Is there a competition brewing?
Brian and I have been talking, most recently on Brian Madden TV, about how Microsoft and Citrix have become competitors since each has a VDI solution.

Now that Gabe and I are back from the holidays, we're getting ready to spend some quality time with several of the recently-released VDI products (both for our "VDI Week" and for our general knowledge and articles.) One of the first things I want to test is VMware's software implementation of PC-over-IP that's built-in to View 4.

Microsoft hates Type 1 client hypervisors. (A guest post by AppDetective)
I'm fully expecting both Citrix and VMWare to make a big deal about XenClient when it's released shortly and CVP when it get's closer to a release date. Virtual Computer is already out there with a client hypervisor, as is Neocleus.

Citrix releases Tech Preview for XenApp codenamed “Parra” (XenApp 6?)
Yesterday Citrix released the beta (or "Tech Preview" in their words) for the next version of XenApp which has been known by the codename "Parra." It's not known how this will be branded, but with the changes we're seeing it's quite possible that you might be looking at XenApp 6.
