Windows 7 On An iPad?

So you say that you want an Apple iPad, but you want it to run Windows?  Well, you’re in luck!  Citrix is doing just that.

Sort of.

Using the Citrix Receiver for iPhone, combined with the use of XenDesktop or XenApp, you can basically turn your iPad into a Windows 7 thin client just like you can with the iPhone.  This allows you to run, from your iPad, the user interface to a virtual Windows 7 box running on hardware elsewhere.

Of course, why you would want to is another question.

Because, let’s face it, as I said before, the iPad by no means has the power to run any real software applications.
