Lol how many times has Microsoft not acquired Citrix. Anyone still talking about this is completely full of sh--.
"On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of a privately held entity intended to advance the Company’s development of the intelligent workspace. The acquired technology enables efficient workstyles by creating a unified and customizable notification experience for business applications.

This has been happening for a while. If you have not noticed the company is pivoting to app aggregation delivered through workspaces.
That doesn't mean we have given up on virtual desktops & apps, but lets face it, there should be a much bigger market for workspaces, as not every customer, or even a high percentage of our existing customers, which require VAD.
Who actually uses VAD for their work? I don't, but I would use Workspaces to gain SSO to SaaS/web apps etc.
Why to get scared...dont we have faith in our work. Make it better than microsoft. Make it work rather than running away from problem. !!
Duh. We are screwed. Time to find a job
I totally agree. Their secure virtual client will basically squeeze Citrix out of business or they will acquire Citrix to beef up their product set. Either way, we should all brush up our resumes.
