Myself I "grew up" in an X11 and Sun "the network is the computer" world. Have not used Citrix more than an hour, but my interpretation was that Citrix made a (huge) business out of Microsoft completely missing the network in the 90s. Both LAN and Internet. So yeah, they allow you to access a Windows computer over the net. Windows still exists so the business continues.
For Tibco I have no equivalent story to tell.

- Slaminerag 4y agoTibco does/did middleware. When I used it 20 odd years ago, it provided a robust messaging system for apps across the enterprise. We used it to communicate between a half dozen systems where I worked as well as the middleware for the n-tier app I worked on, and it was pretty easy to use.
