New technologies effect every one of us. For example, the Web 2.0 world has changed the way we socialize and communicate and how we use and even create applications.

And of course large technology vendors are not immune to these effects, if anything, new technologies effect them more than regular users and businesses. For these vendors, adapting to new technologies can mean the difference between future success or irrelevance.

I recently had the opportunity to speak to Wes Wasson, Chief Strategy Office for Citrix, about how Citrix is responding and adapting to new technologies, especially those in the Web 2.0 arena.
