Citrix Makes The Desktop Virtual With XenDesktop

Hoping to stay a step ahead of rival VMware, Citrix Systems is now shipping its XenDesktop product line of desktop virtualization software.

Announced Tuesday at the company’s annual Citrix Synergy conference in Houston, XenDesktop comes in five editions, including a free bare-bones Express Edition that will give small businesses and developers a chance to test the product for as many as 10 users without having to worry about licensing fees.

XenDesktop delivers the Windows desktop to clients over the network, using virtual machine technology. These virtualized desktops are actually run on a central server, making it easier for them to be managed by IT staff.
