Citrix has recently released XenDesktop and XenApp 7.5. This page was created to mainly link content directly related to this latest release. As this post has grown, it will be adding some relavent 7.x content as well that may still apply to the 7.5 release. The purpose of this post is an easy referance or jump point to some of the content released officially from Citrix and the greater Citrix community including CTPs, bloggers and analysts. Most of the posts linked below will be of a technical nature.
I will be updating this page regularly and if you find an article worth adding. Please let me know by commenting or messaging me. All comments are welcome.
