**ArcGIS ArcGIS 10.1 as a hosted application with Citrix XenApp 6 and XenApp 6.5 with Windows 2008 R2 using the Citrix ICA Online Plug-in for Windows 13.1. Please note that ArcGlobe, ArcScene, and any other 3D application generally will not perform well over Remote Desktop or other Windows Terminal Services clients, because these configurations do not support OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration from the server. The Best practices for running ArcGIS for Desktop in a Citrix XenApp environment contains additional information regarding deploying ArcGIS for Desktop with Citrix XenApp.
***Support begins at ArcGIS 10.1 SP1.
