No, Citrix will continue to act independently from Xen.org on
XenServer as it is their primary solution. They plan to leverage XCP (as anyone
else can) to place new features and ideas into the community for trial and experimentation.
They will then pull what they see as the best fit for their customers into
XenServer.
Thanks.

Stephen,
The XenServer will have new versions? I mean, the Citrix company will
release a XenServer 6, for example? Or the XenServer 5.5 will be the last one
and the XCP is the future?!
Thanks!

Fernando,
Citrix XenServer is a product built upon the open source Xen platform. The Open
Source community now supports a complete build image downloadable in iso format
to try called Xen Cloud Platform. It does not have the free GUI tool built-in
but there are several options already available to manage XCP - see http://www.xen.org/products/cloud_projects.html.
Thanks.
