On April 30th we released Project Delaware Release Preview that received great comments and feedback. Check out my blog and comments on the release preview. In the past 3 weeks, we had around 5000 downloads of Release Preview with customers and partners actively discussing the release at our support forum. And we have already started incorporating their feedback for the final RTM release!
 
Project Delaware is the first release of XenApp on Windows Server 2008. Our main goal for Delaware is not just adding new features and functionalities but making sure this is the best XenApp release in terms of product quality. Hence we had a private Beta in late 2007 with some of our early adopter customers and are now running a public Beta for a broader feedback. And customers planning to move to Windows Server 2008 have already started using the Release Preview and hence can migrate fast when we release the final product. For financial and legal reasons, I  can't be specific on the exact release date but I can say that it will be out in the second half of 2008.

Tell us what you think about the Release Preview - what are you experiences so far?  We'd love to hear from you.

Aren't we already in the second half of 2008? Getting kind of close so we can't wait to here the GM Release announcement.

Technically the second half begins in July.  We can't wait either!

Should have been released 90 days after Microsoft Server 2008 release.

The 90 day is a guideline given by Microsoft for ISVs. As you can imagine, XenApp is not a typical software application and is an infrastructure product. We are eager to release it as well but need to make sure it is of top quality. Thanks for you patience and understanding. Btw, if you haven't, please check out the Release Preview.
