Doug, you are truly a unique individual

From my point of view an acquisition of Citrix by MS would a lot like that comet that arrived during the ecosystem of the dinosaur, remember that one? The results on the SBC/Virtualization ecosystem would be about the same….!!!!

Ø      That Microsoft MVP you got is looking better and better Steve, Huh?
 
Hmmm, since I am also a CTP doesn't that mean I am losing an award?

That Microsoft MVP you got is looking better and better Steve, Huh?  Actually I would HIGHLY prefer it to be HP at this point.  I think it would be a smart move on their part. Who better than HP to have the ability to create the Citrix Mobile Virtual Workplace Client  (remember iForum 2001 http://citrixblogger.org/2008/03/08/citrix-virtual-workplace-2001/) loved the Oh we just switched to another server part.  Still a fantasy.

So, the latest one is that MS, or HP, is buying Citrix and there will be an announcement Friday. I always write these off but this time, think about this:



1) Citrix recently moved all distribution through Ingram solely
2) They are actively cost cutting
3) Stock is low right now
4) Public message is that MS and Citrix will undercut and beat VMWare *together* over the next year
5) HP and MS have cash





Hmmmm……… will I need a new career if this happens?? How about you?
