Wow, that will mean all the redirects of technet to docs.microsoft.com.

Just think of how long TechNet has been around and all of the resources pointing to articles on TechNet. All of the changes that people are going have to make on their own sites, if they even care.

Just redirects will suffice

Yeah, this is going to be a bit nuts.

It seems alive if we pay for the standard or enterprise.

That's what I said... dead. Citrix doesn't believe in it anymore.

It might not be that, they might just want a profit. Basically they will loose a lot of implementations because of it
Although it is kinda like VMware -

Here's a quote from that site.
I suspect many readers will be asking "why?". We have thousands of customers who trust XenServer to host their workloads, and we need to make sure we can invest in the product for them. Of the many thousands of customers using the Free edition, we hope that those using it for large deployments (and likely to be using the features above) will consider purchasing a subscription to enable access not just to the features above, but also the patch/hotfix stream for each release for an extended period (roughly 7 months from release versus 3 months for Free users), access to Long Term Service Releases (up to 10 years of maintenance) and support services from Citrix.I realise that this news will be difficult for people who make use of the Free edition of XenServer in larger environments. We have looked carefully at how the revised Free edition compares to other free virtualisation platforms on the market, and concluded that even with this change, XenServer's free feature set is still great for small deployments or home labs. Evidently Citrix will continue to add functionality to all three editions in the future: as you can see from 7.3 release notes, there is plenty going on!
Why try justifying a bold move like that?
