I just came back from BriForum in Chicago and besides the awesome event that was, one more thing came to attention, half of the Notebooks being carried around by attendees and speakers were Macs.
Carried away by the energy of the event I decided build something for our Citrix Community. A dashboard app that makes easier for our visitors to read the latest posts and collaborate with their comments.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.-- Today, Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS), the global leader in application delivery infrastructure, announced it has won the 2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year Global ISV - Infrastructure Special Recognition award. This award recognizes the global independent software vendor (ISV) for superior technology, delivering innovative infrastructure solutions based on Microsoft platforms.
Microsoft also honored Citrix with its Partner of the Year award for Citizenship for the company's collaborative work on behalf of the Traditional Area of Ashanti-Agogo, Ghana, Africa to provide an infrastructure and training, allowing local residents access to applications and the Internet for the first time.
Building on an almost 20-year relationship, the 2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year Global ISV - Infrastructure award is a testament to the strength and commitment the two companies have in bringing solutions to market that benefit their mutual and respective customers. Over the past year, Citrix and Microsoft have reinvented their already broad relationship in application virtualization to include server and desktop virtualization, creating a complete end-to-end virtualization solution from the datacenter to the desktop that leverages technology from both companies.
"It is a privilege to be honored by Microsoft with these prestigious awards. It is clear evidence that the strength of our relationship and joint go-to-market strategies are benefiting our mutual customers across an increasingly broad set of product lines," said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer of Citrix Systems. "After almost 20 years of building and nurturing our relationship with Microsoft, we remain more committed than ever to creating IT infrastructure solutions that leverage Microsoft technologies as platforms for innovation."

If you are interested in running ICA client on Linux, I've created two short videos showing the step by step instructions. Unlike windows ICA client, installing Linux version of ICA client requires more steps although it is relatively straight forward after you watch the video I hope. I used Ubuntu Linux as an example. Other Linux distributions may work slightly differently.
The embedded videos don't have associated notes. Please click the links below to see the same video with notes and at a higher resolution

Here is my earlier blog that is related to installing ICA client on Ubuntu.
I hope you find the videos useful. Love to hear your feedbacks. For example, your experience with other Linux distributions will be interesting.
Acknowledgment:
I found many articles on the Internet about installing ICA client on Linux. Here are some good examples I referenced
Deployment and installation of AutoCAD Map 3D 2009 on Citrix XenApp 4.5 requires careful planning and execution.
This step-by-step document will guide you through AutoCAD Map 3D installation, setup and tweaks in order to successfully run Autodesk's product on a Citrix XenApp environment.

Hundreds of Thousands of Web Servers have been getting hacked, including several at the United Nations. The appearance is that the hack exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft IIS because of a Microsoft SQL Specific injection payload, however the attack is capable of infecting any type of web server open to SQL Injection and Cross Site Scriting (XSS) attacks.
Microsoft released some security bulletins (951306, MS08-006) stating vulnerabilities in their IIS web server, alluding to the vulnerabilities recently brought to light. A script homed at nihaorr1.com based in China was found to be infecting many servers, and spreading quickly. Further research into the problem indicates that non-Microsoft types of servers may also be affected by the attack.
As of May 12, 2008, Google's Index had 1,700,000 infected pages. The domains currently being injected that contain the malicious Javascript are:
- nihaorr1.com
- 2117966.net
- aspder.com
- haoliuliang.net
- nmidahena.com
- free.hostpinoy.info
- xprmn4u.info
- winzipices.cn
- wowgm1.cn
- killwow1.cn
- wowyeye.cn
- wowgm1.cn
- winzipices.cn
This vulnerability and others like it can easily be stopped with a Citrix Web Application Firewall using default policies to block SQL injection and Cross Site Scripting. We setup a demo in our lab, to show how easy it is to configure and block this type of threat.
See the mailicious script in action:

In a virtualized world, where users can get to their desktops and applications from practically any location or device, you need to leverage "user profile" technology to ensure users get a consistent experience every time. When users log on to their virtual desktop or launch a virtual application, they want to see everything just as they left it, with their own personal settings, shortcuts, toolbars, templates, desktop wallpapers and favorites. The more complex and varied the user access scenarios, the more challenging it becomes for IT to manage these user profiles.
User Profile Manager, available today as a Tech Preview, provides an easy, reliable, high-performance way to manage user personalization settings in Windows environments. It requires minimal administration, support and infrastructure, while providing users with fast logon and logout.

The download of User Profile Manager is available now...
