AutoCAD and Citrix - Just Do It!

[JRainero]

When are you going to listen to your customers and develop a version that will work with Windows Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server? We are Citrix and Microsoft Certified Partners and we have several clients that would like to operate in a server-based environment for remote access, security and total cost of ownership reasons.

I have personally read hundreds of newsgroup posts on your website that inquire about this interoperability and you still don't build it. Performance is not an issue with our users. Having an installation that is supported is.

If you are concerned about licensing, you can collaborate with Microsoft and Citrix to control that. Citrix would gladly work with you to get this last 1% of applications that are supported in their environment.

Please consider this and let me know if we could be a beta tester for it.

Thank you,

Are you going to take the support calls for all those performance issues
that aren't a problem for the idgits that try to install this on a woefully
overtaxed network? There's a huge number of reasons to NOT support such a
config, and a the few clients that want it just aren't worth the support
headaches.

Actually, Autodesk now allows AutoCAD 2005 to operate under Citrix if
you get a special EULA from your Autodesk reseller. Wouldn't this suit
your needs?
