Desktop virtualization company Citrix has announced that come the March launch of the iPad, users will be able to run a fully virtualized version of Microsoft's latest, Windows 7 directly on the iPad.  Could virtualization be the solution to two of the iPad's biggest critiques, it's limitation of app's and multitasking? "Well if your company has XenDesktop or XenApp you will be happy to know you will be able to use your iPad for real work as well. It turns out the 9.7 inch display on the iPad with a 1024x768 screen resolution works great for a full VDI XenDesktop. Windows applications run unmodified and securely in the data center, and even multiple applications at once." Writes Citrix VP Chris Fleck on the company blog. The only limitation of the software as of yet, is Apple's lack of support for a mouse input device. Stay tuned for more information.
