In the mid to late 90's, I was part of the distributed systems crowd, led admirably by Novell. Oddly enough, though, the majority of the systems we supported were Windows 3.1 systems with both twinax and Ethernet adapters, the twinax network providing access to our AS/400 systems. Anyone (un)fortunate enough to have worked with twinax or token ring or anything else out of IBM predating UTP and modern hubs and switches knows the exquisite and singular joy of tracking down a single unplugged node, often among hundreds.
Re: Citrix, you're reaching. ;-) Like everything else, you use the best tool for the job, always taking into account the cost-benefit. A poorly written single threaded application can turn any well-intentioned Citrix server into a single user system, assuming you haven't throttled the application in some way. Still, I'm a Citrix advocate. They fill the void left by Novell when NetWare lost relevance in the distributed space. (EDIT: The love of technology void. NetWare and WinFra--er, MetaFra--er, Presenta--er, XenApp (WTF Citrix?) are obviously very different products.)

Amusing. I didn't realize this was actually Amiga topical. ;-)
