I understand ... I used to work for the Federal Government ( CDC ) and amazing what we could spend at budget time ... and amazing what little power we had for unplanned incidentals ( learned to budget for things I never wanted so I'd have the funds for critical expenditures when we *needed* them ) Since I doubt anyone planned or budgeted for H1N1 flu, I'm guessing that Citrix is too costly ... and I don't know what's 'relative' to you but Citrix is over and above the cost of Terminal Server, it is NOT a cheap implementation, even if the value returned is high ....

We deal with quite a few government agencies nationwide and I've been surprised by the number of them that are using Citrix already. It's easier on them because of the number of legacy systems they are using.
