Microsoft will be officially releasing Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 today. At 1:45pm PST Bill Gates will be in Times Square in New York to release the new operating system and office applications. I know there are a lot of people who as yet have not had an opportunity to test this new operating system from Microsoft. I on the other hand have been running this for the last few weeks and have tested this from a Citrix user and Administrator point of view and the issues I experienced follow. From the user perspective there is no Vista client as such however Citrix and Microsoft are working together to provide the best possible user experience for Windows Vista. They go on to recommend using ICA Client 9.230. The client installed without any problems at all and initially all seemed to be working without a problem. I was able to connect to my published application however noticed that pass through authentication wasnt working properly. I then looked a little deeper into the problem and noticed that this was listed in Citrix Support article CTX112067 as a known issue with Windows Vista. Another problem which I noticed was Web client did not function under Windows Vista. I think this is to do with an Internet Explorer 7 issue and didn't look too deeply into this one because I was running the Release candidate of the operating system and hopefully following todays release of the final product this will be resolved. All in all Windows Vista looks to be an excellent operating system so much so that I ordered a copy this morning. |
