Citrix to Bring 'Millions' of Windows Apps to iPhone

Citrix' Chris Fleck, on the company's blog site, writes:

How about starting with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, and then moving on to, say, Flash? Fleck also suggests anything that needs Internet Explorer or medical applications, as well, could be part of the effort.

While some at the company have mentioned the effort on various blogs, it's something that Citrix itself still hasn't officially announced.

At first, the idea of millions of new Windows-based applications for the iPhone grabs the attention. And then one realizes that even without Windows support, Apple has still facilitated about 300 million downloads of iPhone applications via its iTunes App Store. And a major piece of Microsoft software - - Exchange - - does work with the iPhone.
