Confusion over Citrix clients
Hi
I am slightly confused about the new names/versions of the Citrix clients and was hoping someone could help me out.
I've read the various details on the Citrix Product documentation site, but it's not helped much.
We are currently running a PS 4.0 farm with no Web Interface. Users access applications via a Program Neighbourhood 10x client installed locally on their machines.
There is a plan to upgrade to Windows 7 clients, so we're currently testing those with various applications. Access to Citrix will be one of them test points.
Would I be correct in thinking that:
1. PN 10x does not support any flavour of Windows 7
2. The only Citrix client that supports Windows 7 is the Citrix Online Plug-in 11.2 for Windows?
I'm also a little confused about the new names.... is the Online Plugin 11.2 the new name for the Program Neighbourhood? I have heard that I MUST be running a Web Interface in the farm for 11.2 to work, is this true?
Finally, does the PN client provide any advantage over just using the web client and accessing via a Web Interface?
Any help appreciated guys.
