"It should be clear, then, that Azure RemoteApp is not a XenApp competitor; it is, rather, one of the first of a new breed of web-scale client application hosting platforms. Unlikely as it may seem, Microsoft’s closest competitor at the moment could well be Sphere 3D with Glassware 2.0. Glassware ticks many of the same boxes as Azure RemoteApp, and with GPU support, it even offers features today that Azure RemoteApp has yet to implement, albeit without the polish and depth-of-pocket that Microsoft possesses."
