- 79. 83 “The guidance we give our sales team is that in general, they should start with Citrix + Microsoft as the best solution. If the customer decides they do not want to go with a joint solution, we then specify that RDS is great if they do *not* need high scale admin GUI, have the correct clients supported (e.g. we don’t have a great XP, RIM, Chromebook, etc), correct hosts supported (we don’t support Vista, XP, etc), then RDS is a scalable solution with PowerShell.” Klaas Langhout, Director of PM, RDS Product Group, March 17, 2014
