What applications?
My take is that Terminal Services works best for one server running one
application and accessed by many users. For the "car rental" application of
5,000 users all using one application - that is a good approach.

But for "normal" "professional workers", who typically use 5 or 6
applications that need to be integrated together in some form or another,
then you don't get the savings that you might otherwise look for.

Cheers, Chris

Subject: OT: Thin Clients


I'm curious to find out about large organizations that either are already or
are thinking seriously about switching a significant portion of their PC
base to thin clients )probably Citrix based).

If you done this, how is it going?  What are your top five recommendations?
What are the top five items on your wish list?

If you are seriously thinking about doing this, when do you think you will
start moving?



As a footnote, we have enough licenses for about 15% of the company and are
thinking seriously about making a much bigger move in this direction
starting in about a year.  So far, I can see some interesting conflicts with
Security, VoIP and NetMeeting.  So far the hottest button on my wish list
would be for a range of PocketPC devices (lots of form factors) that were
both good VoIP phones (Cisco SIP) and with Pocket Office applets that worked
one heck of a lot better with big Office on Citrix.  I get really annoyed
with that PC Companion paradigm.
