OS X, PeopleSoft, BFS, BEARS and Citrix

There's a good article at InternetNews.com that said PeopleSoft is
"certifying" their apps for OS X. I assume this means porting them
over. Did anyone hear about this at WWDC?

My question is whether this news might lead to a positive change for
the BFS/BEARS/Citrix system. It would be great to get away from Citrix
- and all of its printing problems. I don't know how the BFS system
hangs together, but my understanding was that the software
(PeopleSoft?) would not run on a Mac, so rather than forcing Mac users
to run Virtual PC, they constructed a system around Citrix. Can anyone
clarify this and/or provide some history?

Apple's partners are also showing their support for OS X and an
interest in Tiger. The short list includes Microsoft's Office 2004; Sun
Microsystems' OS X-enhanced developer platform; Borland, which said it
will support OS X in its next Optimizeit Suite; Quark and its QPS
desktop publishing system; PeopleSoft, which is certifying all apps for
OS X; and Oracle, which is scheduled to release its 10g Grid software
for Mac OS X this week.
