In any case, it's definitely misleading.

Agree. The title should be changed to say "Citrix to Provide Windows Desktop Remoting on iPhone". Which goes to show you: Tech reporters are teh suck.

There is no virtualization involved and there is no claim of virtualization in the original article.

Nevertheless, propagating misleading titles is as much wrong as creating a misleading title. I'd say you should've added a "source claims" or even "misleadingly claims" note at least in the news' description.

While you're subtle/dry method of questioning the reporting by ZDnet was not entirely lost on many of us... I guess not everyone can appreciate it ;) Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:38:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (umccullough) Comments RE: It's Not Virtualization http://osnews.com/thread?319220 http://osnews.com/thread?319220 Tomcat,

This shows you what happens when you buy a company and then rebrand your existing products around the name of the company you bought (Xen). We call it complete confusion.

They ported their RDP client, which is good news. Now if they can get it to work with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, the iPhone may become quite attractive as a small "road warrior" platform to get access to some of those corporate apps I need on the road.

If there is then iPhone can remotely run Windows apps off an XP terminal server such as ThinServer XP
