[geeks] Metaframe [WAS] Bad practice in the Win/X86 world

[Andrew Weiss]

ICA.

Metaframe kicks ass... TS sucks ass.  TS is RDP only which means up 
until recently only Windows clients... There is now an RDP client for 
OS X.  There is an ICA client for just about every OS made... There's a 
native client for many and a Java client for any that don't yet have a 
native client.

ICA also has many performance improvements over RDP especially over low 
bandwidth connections... Now what I'd like to see is more Metaframe 
Server for UNIX versions... i.e. not just Solaris or HP-UX, but for OS 
X, etc.
