Jeff, I agree with David on the TS issue. Make sure you test the performance before putting TS on a virtual platform. The best solution I have found for a virtual TS is Citrix XenServer which has been engineered to run a TS environment. You will never get the same number of user session on a

Ooooh - test that TS virtualization a lot before you commit to it. I've labbed it and found it wanting, and the folks I know who have put it into production have been somewhat less than happy. TS runs great on minimal hardware, but because it's virtualizing the user sessions anyway it benefits
