Last week Citrix quietly released a Tech Preview of an add-on to XenApp 6.5 which allows OpenGL support in the application as a service world. This is what was missing from our previous work, and now sends us back to the lab to test it out. Nothing to report on at the moment, but it looks like a friend of the show Thomas Poppelgaard has already had some hands on with the new software. Here’s hoping he demos some of it at the upcoming Nvidia GPU-TC.
UPDATE: I’ve gotten the plug-in installed on a demo system and have been very happy with initial results. I’m hoping we can get some more formal tests put together and record a vid of the results.
