XenDesktop^? 7.0 with FMA - the unified architecture for XenDesktop^? 7 and XenApp^?

In 2013, Citrix released a new major version XenDesktop 7 as Project Excalibur featuring convergence of the XenApp product. Later in 2014, Citrix released XenApp again as a separate product based on FMA. This has lead to the sharing of the same FMA architecture by the XenDesktop and XenApp products. FMA is now going to be the future of both the product lines. This means that mastering FMA will get you to master the worlds of XenDesktop and the XenApp. However, in this context, we'll only see the comparisons and the benefits of FMA within the XenDesktop versions.
