Sure. I mean it really depends right. If you are dealing with an Organization with over 4000 production servers they get a little touchy about unknowns.=20 Of course a SQL server with a ton of load and lots of work threads spinning and what not, then all the sudden a process stops.... The MS boys will do anything to prevent that type of thing even if they are only seeing it in a handful of places.

Does anyone have real expirience of using this technology =3D on terminal servers and whether the real gain of productivity in the =3D multiuser system turns out from it???
