Agreement gives Citrix access to next version of Windows Server software
Citrix Systems Inc. and Microsoft Corp. late last month agreed to extend their long-standing partnership to include Longhorn server software.
Under the latest contract, Citrix agreed to support the next version of the Windows Server -- code-named Longhorn -- in its access products. The five-year agreement also gives Citrix continued access to Microsoft Windows Server source code while providing for patent cross-licensing. In addition, the agreement calls for new technical collaboration to enhance the extensibility of Windows Terminal Server.
The Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite runs on Microsoft's Terminal Server, which is designed to deliver Windows-based applications or the Windows desktop itself to any computing device, including those that can't run Windows.
