That link at brianmadden is a real winner. &nbsp;Exactly the type of thing I was looking for.<br />
<br />
The big thing I wasn't getting a straight answer on was the ability to seemlessly run from the desktop. &nbsp;I understand that there's a mode of installing applications on Terminal Services that is called application mode vs. admin mode. &nbsp;Any idea what that means?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
The title sort of says it all.<br />
<br />
I have documentation from Citrix (nothing from MS yet) comparing Citrix MetaFrame XP and Microsoft Terminal Server on Windows 2000.<br />
<br />
I'm looking for something (a document, a pointer to a source) that's a little more objective than what the vendors provide in selecting a product direction for my client's company.<br />
<br />
Can anyone point to a resource what such a thing exists (we don't want to commission our own study, but we might be willing to purchase such an evaluation that's already been created)?

Looking for Objective Comparison of MetaFrameXP vs. Terminal Server

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
