Yeah, I would agree with that. I've set up a few thin client citrix boxes ages ago. These days I'd say the web is the bigger trend, and I agree that 2-factor can greatly reduce the impact of keylogging. One of the nice things with one of the SaaS applications we're using at work is that if we're having connection issues I can just wake up my console on my home PC next to my VPN'ed laptop and see if the application is accessible with a complete different route (suffice it to say I sometimes dread using the office LAN for this reason - I've seen file transfers go faster over the VPN than the local WiFi). But, if you're still stuck with win32 applications Citrix is certainly a solution. I was thinking it might take over the corporate desktop until everything started moving more towards the web. -- Rich
