[Reggie Freedman BellSouth]

I plan give up Terminal Services and use TSPLUS 2011 for
my next server needs (http://www.tsplus.net/):

    Lowest-cost Citrix/TS product available on XP, VISTA,
            Windows 7, and 2003/2008 systems (32 and 64 bit)
    No requirement for Terminal Service CALs.. No need for Terminal Service 
license manager
    Low cost, high value, and excellent performance in an easy-to-use 
solution
    Support of 32 bits colors, dual-screen, bi-directional sound, USB 
devices and much more
    Enhanced AdminTool simplifies the server management process
    Advanced Application Control by user and/or by group
    Fast filetransfer between the user PC and the TSplus server
    Extended remote printing capabilities made possible by our TSplus 
Universal Printer
    Load balancing and failover allow up to ten servers within one farm
    Secured server communication (Hide server drives, RDP firewall, 
encryption...)
    Seamless Application Publishing and Remote APP (such as Citrix or MS 
RDS)
    Internet Web Access using IE, Opera, Netscape, Filezilla...
