.....assuming M$ do the smart thing and target the corporate market first! The domestic / home market is definitely Apple's market, though they haven't, in my humble experience, made any effort [or indeed had any inclination] to tap into corporate. I am basing this on the fact that most businesses / government organisations are largely M$ houses, running windows and associated office products. What my customers want is the convenience/slickness of the iPad [great UI and really fast boot time], but the actual functionality of the M$ apps they are already familiar with. Citrix sessions on iPads, whilst do-able, aren't an ideal user experience - especially since they're stateless, and of course the applications you are accessing weren't designed with a touch screen interface in mind. Of course, my assumption is that this is not just vapourware!
