When Citrix announced it was acquiring Ringcube earlier this month it sent a bit of a shock wave through the industry as everyone struggled to figure out what this means for the other players in this space. To my surprise, both AppSense and RES immediately weighed in. Both have valid points as to how RingCube's vDesk really competes with their solutions but AppSense should receive extra humor points for embedding a self deprecating video on their site (see below). By the way, if you are new to the whole Hitler YouTube meme--there is more where this comes from.
