Promised to be ready when the tablet computer ships in March, Citrix says the new software, based on the current version, is a response to questions about how the iPad might find a home in the enterprise.

"If your company has or you will be happy to know you will be able to use your iPad for real work as well," wrote Citrix Vice President Chris Fleck in a .

"It turns out the 9.7 inch display on the iPad with a 1024x768 screen resolution works great for a full VDI . Windows applications run unmodified and securely in the data center, and even multiple applications at once."

Citrix says the iPad's larger screen solves many of the challenges users' faced because of when using the iPhone with a virtualized Windows desktop. (Which sounds pretty painful, if you ask me).

"The iPhone restrictions of screen size and small keyboards are overcome with the iPad. The iPad looks to be an ideal end-point device that can empower users to be productive wherever they are and IT will be able to safely deliver company-hosted virtual desktops and apps without worry," Fleck wrote.
