Citrix: XenApp 6 vs 6.5 comparison (movie included)
1 min read

See the difference between these two desktops, the XenApp 6.5 install beats the XenApp 6 install without problems. Seems the +150 additional HDX improvements that are made pay off.
The test was done from two Windows 7 clients with the Citrix Receiver 3.0, so here’s the XenApp 6 vs 6.5 comparison:
