Yeah, I would agree with that. I've set up a few thin client citrix |
| 13 |
boxes ages ago. These days I'd say the web is the bigger trend, and I |
| 14 |
agree that 2-factor can greatly reduce the impact of keylogging. One |
| 15 |
of the nice things with one of the SaaS applications we're using at |
| 16 |
work is that if we're having connection issues I can just wake up my |
| 17 |
console on my home PC next to my VPN'ed laptop and see if the |
| 18 |
application is accessible with a complete different route (suffice it |
| 19 |
to say I sometimes dread using the office LAN for this reason - I've |
| 20 |
seen file transfers go faster over the VPN than the local WiFi). |

But, if you're still stuck with win32 applications Citrix is certainly |
| 23 |
a solution. I was thinking it might take over the corporate desktop |
| 24 |
until everything started moving more towards the web. |
