This statement leading the article pretty much sums up Citrix to me: "I’ll let you in on a secret. Despite all my years working for Citrix, I never learned how to pronounce “Xen” correctly — even after quite a few brave colleagues tried to get me to say “szen” and not “ksen.”"
I can't figure out how to say either "szen" or "ksen"... I say "zen" like a zen garden... from wiki:
pronounced /ˈzɛn/zen is the correct pronunciation.
ksen would be like tsar but with a k instead of a t.
