Why Doesn't Citrix Use Its Own Product?

Not that we should think that the software industry or Citrix Systems would be above the hypocrisy that has become so accepted in the rest of the business world today, but does anyone else find it amusing that Citrix, who is trying to promote its new GoToWebinar service for conducting online events, chooses to use ON24's webcasting service rather than its own service when it hosts an event?



And don't even try to tell me that has something to do with Citrix and its Citrix Online division being different organizations. Check out the GoToWebinar ads on the citrix.com main page. It's clearly "Citrix GoToWebinar," not "Citrix Online GoToWebinar," and GoToWebinar is prominently featured in the News and Products sections of Citrix Systems' website, probably even more so than on the Citrix Online site.
