Xen and the Art of Hosted Desktops by Virtualization Review
On the website from Virtualization Review you can read a very nice article about Xen and the Art of Hosted Desktops. Danielle and Nelson Ruest, both Microsoft MVPs and IT professionals, posted a comprehensive review of Citrix XenDesktop
They wrote that Citrix XenDesktop is a state of the art product for hosted desktop virtualization and XenDesktop could be the gold standard by which other products are judged in a feature-for-feature comparison.

Put It on Your Short List
XenDesktop, unlike many other VDI tools on the market today, runs with any of the major three server virtualization technologies. This makes it a clear winner in our book.
That integration capacity — plus its ability to work with differential images only; its use of the Citrix ICA protocol instead of Microsoft’s RDP; and its ability to pre-provision images — make it one of the very best VDI options on the market. XenDesktop is certainly off to a good start and should be part of the short list for any organization that wants to move to VDI.
