I'm not currently, but I just attended a seminar showing it. Sorry if my comments were misleading. Xen "looks" very promising though...

I have a few questions if you are: How much more overhead is required to do a virtual desktop for each machine vs a simple terminal session? What's the cost? Does each machine require it's own license for OS as well as Citrix's licnense? What about the cost of CALs, how do they factor in? Does a thin client need to have some level of compatibility with XenDesktop, or will any old thin client with Citrix work? --Matt Ross ________________________________ From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:45:33 -0800 Subject: RE: Thin clients Xen does virtual desktops really well too now.

Initially, maybe 10 or so but if it goes well, who knows, maybe 100 or more. Any reading or other resources that anyone care to point me to? Also, any suggestions as to what vendors/technology to look at and to avoid. Thanks.
