Well - my plight against the accounting program that after 8-10 users on
a win2k3 server will peg the CPU is almost in the dirt.  I have the CPU
throttle going to slap it down but I just cannot get a whole lot of
users when they run this program. I am not alone as I find others using
Creative Solutions Accounting in the accountant field has similar
problems.

Tech support answer? - logout/in again. Grrr...Not good enough.  Having
them fix their code it next to impossible....an accounting firm with the
same problem experimented and went back to Win2000 TS with better
results.  Hmmmm....

So I sit here at the table looking for solutions.  Throwing 2 more CPU's
at a cost of $5k will not cut it for I don't think it will still be able
to handle it.  At $7k, I can get a PE2650 by dell and start down the
road of LB and start growing the farm. 

Now - my question to the thin community....does anyone have luck with
Tarantella and how it compares to Citrix?  I am waiting for costs on
Tarantella but I also think Citrix is overkill for 50 users just to get
published apps and load balancing (i.e. designate which user or app goes
to what server).  I am not even at accounting season so this is only
going to get worse.

Thanks for the input.
