Windows 7 will prompt a rethinking of the desktop in 2010 and lead many to virtualize, Citrix says. 
Citrix has developed disaster recovery software that uses Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology to help automate and speed the recovery process.
Citrix has released version 5.5 of its Citrix Essentials for Microsoft Hyper-V, a suite of tools for managing virtual containers created with the Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization software.

Want to run Windows 7 on the new Apple iPad? Citrix says it will soon be possible -- at least virtually -- using a new version of its Citrix Receiver software.

At the Citrix Synergy show in San Francisco, the announcement of Citrix XenClient rocked the brave, new world of desktop virtualization. With XenClient, Citrix has beaten virtualization leader VMware to the punch with a client hypervisor, available today for download in a "test kit" version.

Citrix envisages a future when IT will be highly virtualised and accessed from three broad classes of devices.
