Technically speaking, SP1 is only a rollup of hotfixes with the addition of vGPU functionality and support for Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2. It's not a release per se. Here's the readme: http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX139788. As a result, I'd expect support to be mostly based on for the included hotfixes, since that's probably what most of us care more about.
As to the question of sticking with 6.1 or 6.2, unless there is a functional reason for sticking with 6.1, and you've fully patched it; I'd recommend going to 6.2. Partly that's based on the EOM for 6.1 being only nine months away: http://www.citrix.com/support/product-lifecycle/product-matrix.html -tim On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 12:49 PM, Francois Gaudreault < fgaudrea...@cloudops.com> wrote: > Ok.
