Wavedreamer, the recent report by Brian Madden claims that XenClient is commercially unfinished and should still be classified as a beta product. With all these remaining issues one has to wonder why Citrix is rushing this to market. Were they under the gun to meet OEM contract obligations?

I'll try to contact someone at Citrix to learn more about the status of XenClient compatibility with TxT and TPMs.

And just in case you still have any remaining excitement about XenClient 1.0, there are a whopping 59 (!) "known issues" in the Release Notes. Fifty-nine! And this is a product with a VERY limited HCL which only supports four different guest OS platforms!

Ok, so who's ready for this? Who's going to start deploying it to customers and end users? Honestly I can't believe that Citrix is releasing this as a real product.. I guess this way their marketing people can go nuts telling everyone how awesome it is while in real life it's still a beta-quality product.

This is no joke. We heard so much about Xen on this board.

I am aware most larges companies, government, and military use Citrix but I think other non-virtualization products. I'll need to validate this.
