[THIN] Re: New (additional) farm: MPS 3.0, or Metaframe XP?

We have our first 3.0 client systems in production now and so far there have
been no "gotchas". One indication is to look at the released hotfixes and
get a sense of what problems early adopters have reported.
My subjective feeling about 3.0 is that it is far superior and represents a
significant maturing of Citrix technology, not a new platform release that
is buggy or un-tested. I feel this way about WIN2003 also, I think the
combination is very compelling and I would not suggest doing any new
installations with XP or 2000 server.

If you are going to use Citrix, MPS 3.0 has some nice new features, such as:
- The MMC-based management tools (mostly view only, still need CMC)
- Zone preference and failover (not applicable to your one zone farm, but
cool).
- Extended policies
- The logon process is more verbose with the 8.0 client
- Session reliability
- Dynamic Session Reconfiguration. If a user disconnects, and reconnects on
a device with a different display configuration, MPS will automatically
reconfigure for the new display. PN and PN Agent also reconfigure
automatically if the display changes, as in when a tablet user switches
display orientation.
Check out the Admin guide for the complete list.
