Citrix on the iPhone

Here’s the worst software idea I’ve seen this year: bringing Citrix remote technology to the iPhone. I’m sure most people who have had the misfortune of using Metaframe will agree with me. It is the slowest, most crash prone piece of crap I’ve ever touched. And if that wasn’t enough, try developing sites that will work in the damn thing, with configurations varying between servers. Nightmare.

While the idea of running Windows apps on the iPhone might initially seem compelling, the list Chris Fleck from Citrix has suggested so far includes such gems as bringing Flash to the iPhone and being able to open IE-only web apps. Fabulous it is not.
