That had better be some damn fine writing

Take a gander at this analysis of Citrix that IDC have done. Well, technically, it's just a summary of an analysis, and it's only an analysis of Citrix's acquisition of NetScaler.

Since I can't afford to buy it to work out a word count, I can't tell you what that works out at per thousand, but I can tell you one thing: it's a lot higher than the page rates offered by Future, Highbury and the consumer press (£80 per page since you're asking). I'm so in the wrong profession to get rich...
