Microsoft to Buy Citrix - Announcement Coming Friday or Monday???
,----[ Quote ]
| Last but not least I have to ask myself will this open up a space for
| companies like Ericom and Provision Networks as an alternative to Microsoft?
| I have to believe that those people who "hate" Microsoft, for whatever out of
| control reason, will use a non Citrix (Microsoft) solution to provide access
| to the Windows based applications they need. Not to mention that it would be
| interesting to see how the open-source world thinks about the XEN hypervisor
| being owned (sponsored) by Microsoft.... Heck, Red Hat your 107 million
| acquisition of Qumranet might be an even better buy than you imagined.
