Citrix Client on an USB key!

Finally we have a good solution for running Citrix right off an USB key!

 Alan Yousef from Extentrix and Stephen Spector from Citrix has worked up a great whitepaper on Citrix USB Keydrive Toolkit. I was reading through it and saw how they used Thinstall for packaging an ICA client to a usb-pen and visited www.thinstall.com.

Thinstall.com in cooperation with Citrix provides an all in a box citrix client ready to place on an USB key. I have tested this with Webinterface and it works great.

If you want to read more about the whats and hows, Douglas Brown posted a great article on this: http://www.dabcc.com/dabcc/webapplication/aspx/dabcc.content.aspx?intPKText=1612&intPKChannel=33

The price of the virtualised Citrix Client is $30 per USB-installation for corporate users and free for personal use.
