If this is anything to go by, there is quite a noticeable difference!

Check the videos on youtube......there is definitely a difference in
performance and usability between RDP and ICA.

In my humble opinion, there is still a difference and the link between your
servers and your client is the crucial bit. For LAN speeds RDP is fine (from a
performance viewpoint). Over a satellite link, RDP can be unusable. I did read
somewhere that RDP tends to use the link even when nothing is happening. I know
when you check an ICA connection, if nothing is happening on the session, then
the link isn't used. Therefore, the number of sessions may be an issue for you.
In your situation, the best thing to do is to set up a test and to see if the
increase in cost is justified. If it makes an unusable system usable, it might
be worth the cost. If it's a "nice to have" then probably not.
Hope this helps

A client of mine is considering moving to Citrix from Vanilla Terminal Services
*purely* on the basis of improved performance viewing graphics/PDFs etc. Can
anyone give feedback on how much of a difference there is?
