good products

Citrix has a more usable product and lower cost than vmware.

I think we are going to have a baby

A competitor of VMware in the design of software etc for the speedy access of data storage. It is one to watch for now. A Buy. :-)

This is an engima. May grow due to their traditional products or due to virtualization products. Not really sure

Citrix bought Xensource and that is when I bought Citrix. Xen is my favorite datacenter virtualization software and Xensource makes what I find to be the best tools for Xen. I think Citrix will be an attractive acquisition to fight over for a couple of large caps that are always in the news - now that they have Xensource. My company immediately bought up enterprise licenses and that is something we do very rarely. That is how good it is. And I say that having used several competitors including VMWare which is a fine product but didn't suit our needs in a "no brainer - get it now!" way like Xensource's version of Xen.

Well managed, well financed and great potential. Also, management re-purchased stocks around $32 average price last qtr. Can some please say "confidence"?.

What more can we say about the Virtualization World!

I think Citrix licensing is going to take off exponentially:

Currently, Blackberries are the primary go-between for people staying connected with work, outside of work. Citrix, while being used by many companies, has not been nearly as wide spread. The main reason for this is lack of portability. Citrix users, for the most part, still have to be tied to a local internet connection.

This will all change once wireless internet (WiMax, 3G, 4G) becomes widespread. Citrix will become much more dynamic for its users, and therefore there will be a much greater reliance on it.

Portability is a proven requirement for users, especailly business users. Laptops & Cell Phones are a testament to that fact. Wimax will increase portability and usage of Citrix, and increased portability will drive demand for Citrix.

With the release of Citrix VDI solution, it's stock will rise due the media hype created.

The virtualization space is expanding greatly, add to the fact Citrix has other business beyond virtualization, unlike VMWare, and is selling at a cheaper valuation then VMWare; plus they are just off the yearly lows this seems a good spot to get in.

with the price of fuel what it is,company's will save money by

having meatings on video rather than fly.

Great technology. This company has been able to weather the storms historically and should hold steady during the recession with a great upside thereafter.

The future for companies looking to cut costs and make the "work" environment more flexible and robust is in the use of Citrix based systems.

My brother work for a company Seals Air corps. He is using the software by Citrix system. The software is easy use and can do alot for the company. So I rate this company an A, till some other software company can rewrite a better soft.

Most blue-ribbon stocks in the Software as a Service category (OMTR, CNQR, CTXS, RNOW, TLEO) are trading below their 52-week highs, and the market is somewhat soft at the moment. If you are looking for things to buy, SaaS is a great category to load up on. I am pretty sure that the growth in these companies will continue over the next 3-5 years. What’s more, we should see some very interesting M&A activity in 2008.
