There is never one clear answer but I will say that we have worked with organizations that have successfully NOT replaced aging desktops and instead deployed Citrix published apps. It really all comes down to what the user needs and expects. If all the apps are on Citrix then you might consider just publishing desktops and going "thin"..

I am thinking if it really make sense to move users (gradually) to Citrix instead of replacing their workstations.

Do you know any major companies that have a large number of MS Office users on Citrix? If yes, I would apprieciate two or three companies names. I will be really greatfull for information.
