I'll be the first to admit that Citrix can do lots of things that T/S cannot. And I respect your knowledge with their products.
But that document has problems. Some places are flat out not true, and it even contradicts itself. And some places are truly marketing spin. From page 2: One example, from page 2: Administrators can configure settings for user sessions as policies that can be applied to sessions based on username, group, server name, server management container, client IP address or subnet, zone, or client name (or partial name). Priorities can be applied to these policies depending on specific user session situations. All of that, except for the very last sentence, applies to Windows Server 2003 and 2008. And since I'm not sure of EXACTLY what the last sentence is talking about, even the last sentence may apply. If you can write a WMI query for a situation, you can filter a policy on it. Another one, also from page 2: Enables monitoring and evaluation of server performance. Custom threshold-based alerts and reports can be generated to enhance management and allow administrators to optimize the Terminal Services farm. It's noted that this is only available in the Platinum/Enterprise editions of Presentation Server. Well, this is perfectly doable in T/S too - with OpsMgr or MOM thrown into the mix. It goes on and on..I only read about half before I got disgusted and quit. Regards, Michael B.

Easy to configure and works really well. Who needs Citrix anyhow? Those of us who don't want the limitations of TS 2008. http://www.citrix.com/site/resources/dynamic/salesdocs/Citrix_PresentationSe rver45_TerminalServices2003_2008FeatureAnalysis.pdf BTW, that document is a collaboration between the Citrix and MS Terminal Service teams so it is just not Citrix marketing hype.
