1.0 out of 5 stars Only good for sales people, November 8, 2008

This review is from: Citrix Access Suite 4 for Windows Server 2003: The Official Guide, Third Edition (Paperback)

I read the book cover to cover and was VERY disappointed. The useful information is very difficult to extract from the book itself. I personally believe that the same value would have been derived from simply reading the feature guide off Citrix's website. So if you are trying to sell Citrix products or create an executive summary then this is the book for you. If you are an implementer or just want to learn the product it may be better to pick up the Citrix CCA Exam Cram guide. It's a little outdated but it has more real world/useful information.

This review is from: Citrix Metaframe Access Suite Advanced Concepts (Paperback)

This book is written for system architects and design professionals, covers architecture and design concepts. I would strongly recommend this book for advance users as the book cover says it dives deep into the advance settings and performance tuning recommendations for Metaframe implementation.
