i don't like citrix...it's stupid...it adds an extra layer of rubbish onto an already full windows system

their remote desktop thing is already present in the form of (guess what) "Remote Desktop" on windows server 2003, and their thinclient service is already present in the form of windows xp embedded...tis stupid

Well, let me qualify that.  Windows needs to be rebooted frequently, and in a server environment, constantly.  

I manage a total of 16 Windows based servers and around 500 Windows based workstations (plus a few macs and *nix based servers) and I can assure you, what you have stated here is a gross overexageration. We get the odd workstation freeze and the servers get a reset every now and then for a security update, you cannot honesty tell me that the words frequently and consistantly apply to this scenario. Crap hardware, poor configuration and/or lackluster security are generally the cause of many Windows woes.

indeed. "standard operations" (office, internet explorer, game gear emulators) never (well almost) result in a crash. and if they do, then they're recoverable.
