vWM cleared of all steroid charges!

When vWM won the gold two weeks ago, vWM customers weren’t surprised. But allegations of vWM being “Web Interface on Steroids” sullied vWM’s good name. But vWM wasn’t giving up: it challenged the investigators to a complete battery of tests that have never been given before in a software steroid investigation. The result? Only superior software engineering was found—no steroids.

After a brutal weeklong investigation, chief investigator Will Emmett Columbia cleared vWM of all charges. “While vWM may be able to support multiple technologies and offer customization beyond anything I’ve ever seen,” said Columbia, “all evidence exonerates vWM—there’s no evidence of malfeasance.”

Columbia continued, “If you have Web Interface, you’d be crazy not to look at vWM.”

vWM said in a prepared statement, “I knew I was innocent, and I’m looking forward to getting back to work—not just for me, but for the thousands of people who depend on me every day.”

Performance Enhancement Debacle!

What will happen to visionapp’s Gold medals?

Industry leader visionapp is facing the media today amid a firestorm of accusations. After winning a gold medal in the User Productivity event and sweeping the Customization Relay, visionapp Workspace Management (vWM) has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs.

In July 2008, chief technologist Rick Dehlinger bragged to customers that vWM was like “Citrix® Web Interface on steroids.”

Indeed, the gold medals in both events were awarded to visionapp, based on vWM’s ability to support Citrix XenApp, streaming, Microsoft TS, and even local apps. In addition, users and admins can customize dozens of elements in vWM, changing how the Workspace is presented to each user.

In a prepared statement, the IOC reported, “We began to suspect vWM when we discovered that everything could be managed from the same console as other visionapp products. Then we found out that vWM can support content in different languages without requiring separate web servers!”

A vWM customer who wished to remain anonymous, said, “I’m not sure how vWM can do everything it can do without some sort of unfair competitive advantage.” The customer added, “Steroids or no steroids, you can take my vWM when you pry it out of my cold, dead hand.”

I’ll post more when I know more…

Gold medal in user productivity!

Wow, what a fantastic day in Beijing.

Our visionapp Workspace Management software won the Gold in 2 — count ‘em, 2 — events: User Productivity, and the Customization Relay (along with teammates Server Management and Control Center).

It’s not Michael Phelps or anything, but with 4 years of training, hard work, and updates, we could overwhelm London and sweep the software events in ’12.

I’m not sure what was more impressive for the judges: the users’ ability to customize languages? the support for Citrix, TS, streaming and local apps on the same interface? Whatever it was, the visionapp anthem never sounded so sweet. And our customers have never had an easier way to customize and enhance Citrix® Web Interface.

Nothing can stop us now. Nothing.
