Seeing as how much has been spent on software for the NPfT I would be worried if citrix didn't see some profits!

Citrix services essentially packages available open source tools into appliances and charges a fortune for them.

InstallShield, their bread and butter product, is losing ground due to the fact that most of the corporate software is deployed over intranets and not on individual clients PCs.

This business model is not sustainable long term.

Lets hope the product they bought (ardence) does them wonders. so far i think it is. excellect bit of kit. for more info visit
