True, I agree with one exception.
MPS 4 is around the corner (spring-summer). It will include support for EMF
printing (among other things). ThinPrint is great, but at $1,400 a server
it is extremely expensive for a product that does only 1 thing. Granted it
does that one thing well. But, it does not have a centralized console,
installations are done manually on each individual servers, licensing and
activation is horrible (however, they will give you a special build of you
have 50+ servers).

2 servers today, how many tomorrow? What new danger lurks around the
corner? :)
We have a small # of servers, not 60, so the financial impact on us
would be a lot smaller than on you. I just sympathize for people still
fighting with printer creation, driver copying, and all the other stuff
you get with vanilla TS or Metaframe printing. We were able to
innoculate ourselves from those headaches, but I know not everybody can,
or feel like it's worth the cost.
