Windows 7 on iPad? Why not? That’s what the title of this post says. Yes, you can run Windows 7 on an iPad. But it’s not actually reinstalling the iPad operating system with Windows 7. The Windows 7 is run virtually and remoted to another machine by using XenDesktop or XenApp developed by Citrix Synergy.
With the 9.7-inch display on the iPad with a 1024×768 screen resolution, it works great for a full VDI XenDesktop. Windows applications run unmodified and securely in the data center, and even multiple applications at once.
The screenshot above is Windows 7 on an iPad Simulator with XenDesktop 4. And now the Citrix Receiver is available on the App Store.
