In this Session Andrew Wood compared the three products for Client Type-1 Hypervisor XenClient vs NxTop vs MokaFive. Is XenClient the best? @gilwood_cs. You can download the Presentation here. Enjoy!

Very good presentation on new features in XenApp 6.5. More information on XenApp 6.5 can be found in Citrix eDocs - best resource of information. The session was recorded in London, UK on November 18, 2011 at E2EVC 2011 London event. Sorry about the low video quality - well if you visit the event you can see it yourself in HD. Either way I recommend that you use the Presentation Slides (in case you are on the YouTube the slides are available at e2evc.com) while watching the Video, so that you can hear AND see what the guys are talking about.

Couple of days ago my fellow MVP friend and Virtualization Guru Ruben Spruijt (who is also Citrix CTP and vExpert) posted a tweet

@rspruijt A #Windows Phone 7 #WP7 is a nice #Microsoft #MVP award gift! ...

He’s too positive, I thought, being very suspicious myself. I mean there have been many people moaning about the fact that MVP’s don’t get the 100$ MS Bux for their Store to buy software anymore, some again complained that when they go to MVP Summit they have to share a room with someone else or else pay 50% of the room themselves (cmon! Don’t you remember how much fun it was when you were in University?), but I just think that those people don’t realise that we are all ON...

All this was made on an iPad 16GB 3G (should not make a difference actually) and a Windows PC! If you are one of those who have a jailbroken iPad for whatever reason and you want to upgrade to 4.2.1 version, an update which bring a lot of features, you may have faced the same problem like I did. I plugged in my iPad into the computer clicked the Restore button in iTunes - everything runs fine and yet at some stage I got the error: “There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The requested resource was not found.” First I thought there was a problem with my internet connection, then I thought it happened to me because I just upgraded iTunes to 10.1.1.4, then I have tried couple of more times hours later, because I heard that sometimes Apple Servers are overloaded – no joy. I started to think that the reason might be the fact that the device was jailbroken. But after Googling the issue I realised that a lot of people actually had the same problem. It is just that resolution for different...

------------- MSDN -------------------------- If you are one of the lucky owners of Microsoft MSDN subscribtion and you are working on something which imply testing Terminal Services application mode you might wonder whether or not you can get TS CAL's as part of your MSDN subscribtion. Indeed you can, just follow this simple guidline:

1) Install Windows 2008 or R2 or 2003 or even 2000  (with MSDN key to avoid death after 180 Days) 2) Activate W2008 (you will have to do that once in awhile since MSDN keys need to be reactivated once in a while) 3) Install Roles, TS inclusive 4) Call Microsoft Clearance house (a.k.a when you are in License Server - add TS CAL - activate by Phone - call Clearance house) 5) State your MSDN subscribtion number and what ever information they will ask 6) Request the type of TS CAL you need (W2000, 2003 or 2008) 7) enter the code stated by MS employee Thats it. So as a valid MSDN subscriber...
