Windows 7, ESX 4, and Citrix XenDesktop

VMware currently does not officially support Windows 7 on ESX 4 (it's experimental). I've seen issues with VMware Tools on Windows 7 VMs.

Since VMware does not support it, Citrix does not support Windows 7 on ESX 4 either. I've experienced several issues related to Provisioning Server 5.1 SP1 and Windows 7 on ESX 4.

VMware will eventually release official support for Windows 7 on ESX 4 but Citrix won't support it immediately. I don't know how much testing time they require before they will eventually support it.

Windows 7 with PvS 5.1 SP1 is supported by Citrix on Hyper-V and XenServer.
