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.

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.
