I worked on Citrix-remoted VDI machines at two previous jobs. The first one was Windows 7 on dedicated hardware with some kind of a custom client on top of Citrix, and the second one was Windows 10 virtual machine (no GPU) and a WYSE terminal as a client.
Windows 10 seems to be not remotable at all due to the fact that everything is rendered in 3D space, so the only way to send data to the client is by sending bitmaps. Plus, there is added latency due to the fact that you have to cache a frame or two to optimize compression. This made it impossible to work, those dreaded delays in key presses, oh God. As I heard from a guy at the top, adding a GPU to the server helps a lot. But no corpo would do that en masse. It will for sure cause an exodus from this VDI setups in the nearest future. Maybe apart from the cheapest people in India.
I wonder if Citrix has any future at all.
