A Little Humor on the Citrix Presentation Server to XenServer Name Change

I got a chuckle out of this comment on Brian Madden's web site relating to a post discussing the recent Citrix name change:

In Chinese I think that Xenapp would be pronounced 'shen-app', and chien in French means Dog, so any French speaking Chinese might think twice about buying the product. Just killed at least 63 possible sales leads.

Snarf!

If you haven't yet read my post from Wednesday on this topic, Citrix has again changed the name of MetaFrame/Presenation Server to Citrix XenApp Server, another in a long line of name changes for this relatively unchanged product.
