I have tested it and already reported back to them - sorry I didn't make
that clear. On standard MS Office stuff, it's fine but takes ages to
launch SPSS (6 minutes for some reason) and does not work with my magnifier
program Zoomtext. Zoomtext's authors say they don't support Zoomtext in a
Citrix environment.

Point taken.

Have done - and the response I got was a sort of "sorry - we can't do
anything for you". Hence my concern. But at the risk of asking a naive
question... If they can't set me up a workstation in a Citrix container -
then presumably the worst that would happen is I'd need a workstation of my
own - even if that incurred extra license costs for Office etc. That is
right isn't it?
Thanks to all for your replies.
Cheers
Rob
