Nothing too much... though I don't like the company... they still aren't
entertaining the notion of porting Metaframe to Mac OS X.  They still have
the gall to show up at Macworld expos though... and they don't even have a
Carbonized client.  When I ask about Metaframe their answer is... we
support macs we have a client...feh.  If they support Solaris through ICA
why can't they support OS X? (yes I do know that one (NT) is GDI vs. X11
(Solaris) vs. Quartz Dpdf (OS X))... but I still think they have no excuse
for it not being on their roadmap.
