Citrix, the market leader in excessively complex application delivery most easily replaced by SSL VPN appliances, has made a bold step forward in increasing the complexity of applications delivered via the web: http://www.citrix.com/English/NE/news/news.asp?newsID=22707&ntref=hp_promo2_US Citrix has acquired Teros (in addition to Netscalar). Citrix has a special reputation for several of us that have attempted to work with them in the security community. Perusing Bugtraq archives and Citrix support forums (what hasn't been deleted) reveals an amusing history: Response to security issues varied from (a) default deny all (security () citrix com), (b) attempt to sell you a support contract before discussion of issue, and (c) telling you to "just post it in the support forums and someone in the community can probably tell you how to fix it". LOL. A well-known joke amongst econ professionals is that one key indicator of a market bubble is when entities that don't understand or can't spell the name of that market start proselytizing the future of it and throwing money into it. (they use a different word for 'entities') This email, of course, was respectfully intented to be taken lightly. As always, -ae
