There are people out there that seem to think the iPad can run native Windows applications just with a Citrix client alone and that this means the applications are actually RUNNING on the iPad, mad I know!
They fail to understand that you need the infrastructure to host this and the applications are not ‘really running’ on the iPad at all.
Well, perhaps this will explain how it works and show you that the Citrix client requires a Citrix Server and all the software you want to run installed on another machine, where it runs…

Citrix runs Windows and Windows Applications from a central server, called XenDesktop, and pipes it out to your mobile device through the NetScaler AGEE.

Data centre hardware and licence costs aside you need to pay between $450 and $600 more to get XenApp and actually have applications go from the data center to the iPad.
Hope that has cleared everything up for those that do not understand what Citrix is, how it works and what you need to run it.
If you are still confused, guess you should hire an IT Pro.
