Clipboard Enhancements
June 12, 2008Given the experience of working on PortICA (XenDesktop) to support the clipboard transactions, there were many new ideas of how this could be handled.

Digital Independence
June 9, 2008Citrix has had many different promotional phrases over the years. Around 2000, the most popular catch phrase was “Digital Independence”.

One of the most popular links would be Presentation Server 4.5 and Components. It looks like the documentation [...]
Irresistible Forces and Movable Objects

Not long after reading it I wanted to find out more. This lead to finding the video version. Click on the link [...]
