Feels like the beginning of the end for Citrix. I've deployed their various products since 1999, back in the NT4 Terminal Server edition. I have fond memories of running MS Word on UNIX terminals at university by connecting to Citrix running on NT4 on my home PC. Other students would walk past rows of screens in the computer lab all showing drab black and white fixed-width text editors except for one in the middle wi…
I just find it fascinating that I can go through my life and see things like this: "[Company I've never heard of] and [Another company I've never heard of], something something, billions and billions of dollars".

Citrix are pretty ubiquitous in the corporate space. Not as big a deal as they were ten or 15 years ago, but still a huge company that powers a lot of businesses.
I've heard of the name, I kind of just assumed they made orange juice. Tibco is that British supermarket? Kinda makes sense. Oh well, on with my day.
I'm not British, so it also took me a while to realize that Tibco wasn't Tesco.

If you didn't have a old-style corporate job, how would you encounter Citrix?
