Also how can you join a Windows 2003 / 2008 Active Directory domain after the image is booted in the EC2 cloud? The demo didn't not show any domain authentication. Thanks!

Amazon provides templates/base images (called AMIs) to build custom images. The AMIs in the video was started from a machine which can't join a domain.
However, It is very easy to build a domain controller and have XenApp machines join the domain by starting from a different AMI sample.
Please go through Citrix C3 pages for more information http://community.citrix.com/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=cdn&title=Citrix+C3+Lab

Thank you for this interesting video. I work behind a firewall and can connect Amazon EC2 only through an HTTP proxy. Does step 5 - accessing the desktop via a browser app - work through an HTTP proxy or does the browser app need direct TCP connections that do not go through the web proxy?
Best regards,
Thorsten
