Desktop VS Published application
Experts,
In Citrix is it better to publish an application or publish remote desktop and have the user open the application in within RDP?
My main concern is performance.

On a published application, will I be able to have more than one users using the same application? I am not talking outlook or other office programs, these applications are specialized program for engineers to use and we need to concentrate them into one location because the license costs are in the 10s of thousands

oBdA: There is no problem with licenssing. All of our engineering application licenses are controled by one kind of license manager or another.

In addition, a published seamless application will appear more like a local application to the user, able to be overlaid and arranged with their local applications. And Citrix has set things up so if users open multiple published apps, the sessions are shared so there isn't significant overhead to that approach. And finally, when you publish the desktop, it gives the user more opportunity to both get confused ("which Start button should I use?") and to get into trouble (e.g. getting into areas you'd rather they stay out of).
