That has been our issue with x64. We have been able to get all of our old 
crappy 32bit apps running(I agree not all will) but the vendor support issue is 
a major sticking point with management. This keeps us from being able to deploy 
this solution.

Not all of them do...Some older apps such as those in the healthcare industry 
do not or you have to upgrade to the latest and greatest version which also 
means money.....Also you have to consider vendor support - there are still lots 
of vendors out there that will not support their app on a 64 BIT platform even 
if it does seem to run just fine....

32bit apps run just fine on x64 servers and operating systems.

Also I am sure you already know this but R2 is only available as X64 so all 
your apps, printers, etc  need to be 64 BIT Server compatible as well....

You'll have to wait until the release after that.  Feature Pack 2 does not 
support R2 either. R2 support is coming tho.

FYI, XenApp 5 does not work on R2. You'll have to use R1 or wait for the next 
XenApp.

Subject: [THIN] Memory recommendations



Hey, server hardware fans.



I'm ordering some new BL460 blades from HP.  Plan to use them for a Windows 
2008 R2 + XenApp 5 proof of concept.  Windows 2008 can handle more memory - how 
much more are you guys throwing at these puppies?  I realize it's a very 
general question, and I plan to do some load testing in the POC.  But do you 
have any recommendations for a starting point - 8GB, 16GB, etc?



As always, thanks for your sage Thin List advice.



Regards,

CW
