More hijacking - I can't seem to find any way of downloading the Tech Preview of 6.5. Is it up on the Citrix website? I am logged in, and I recall being able to download a Tech Preview of XenApp 6 prior to release...but I seem to be having a bit of a fail day today. (It is the day after a Bank Holiday, in my defence)
