Why was this article listed for deletion? Was it by some nOOb? This is important information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.137.28.156 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 18 December 2006  (UTC)
:I don't know.  I couldn't find a record of this debate in the AfD or VfD archives.  The important thing is that the article wasn't deleted. — EagleOne\Talk 19:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the history, there was a deletion request right back when the article was first created, as at that stage it was merely a copy-paste of an advertisement for the Citrix software.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Citrix_XenApp&oldid=3934721 The article was promptly rewritten in encyclopaedic tone by DropDeadGorgias Adacore (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I went and created a brief UNIX section. I did this because it is not a direct port off the Windows version, it used to be a separate product, and still is for those with Subscription Advantage. I also wanted to cover the MFU 1.1 FR2/MPSU 1.2 rebranding as it caused me a lot of grief (Citrix licensing support did not realize there was a distinction and I spent a month going back and forth over this).

message: I removed the following text from the article because it talks about the benefits of application hosting in general terms, not specifically about Presentation Server:
"Centralizing applications also makes it easier for administrators to manage them." — EagleOne\Talk 02:19, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This appears to be a direct competitor for the Citrix seamless desktop/remote application features 2X Software Ltd found via a Linux/Win32 VM Tip if anyone cares to add this to the article. 86.13.77.126 (talk) 07:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that, in XenApp, only the administrative interface (XenCenter) still lives on a Windows Server. The XenServer (which does the virtualization itself) is now a Linux system of its own.
Also, I think the current technology does not rely anymore on Windows Terminal Services. A consequence is that the paragraph about windows TS client licences needed to run ICA clients would not be not true anymore.
A serious revamping of this page by someone who knows the product well is probably needed. MathsPoetry (talk) 15:52, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK XenServer and XenApp are two entirely unrelated products. XenServer does real virtualisation, and XenApp does 'application virtualisation', which isn't virtualisation at all, just application publishing. The word 'virtualisation' is used just because the client machine isn't running the application, so it's considered 'virtual'. This is explained in the link I added in the previous comment section, but I don't want to edit the main page as I'm not sufficiently confident in this area.81.178.30.171 (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's really a software thin client solution. "Application publishing" is one aspect of that but it's possible to get a full blown desktop as well. The UNIX version even differentiates between a desktop, an "initial app" (where the application to run is specified in the custom connection on the client), and published apps, and each of these can be assigned a different window manager/desktop.

Wouldn't the current client component be the Citrix Receiver?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.235.254.204 (talk) 15:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
