If you are going to use Citrix, MPS 3.0 has some nice new features, such as: - The MMC-based management tools (mostly view only, still need CMC) - Zone preference and failover (not applicable to your one zone farm, but cool). - Extended policies - The logon process is more verbose with the 8.0 client - Session reliability - Dynamic Session Reconfiguration. If a user disconnects, and reconnects on a device with a different display configuration, MPS will automatically reconfigure for the new display. PN and PN Agent also reconfigure automatically if the display changes, as in when a tablet user switches display orientation. Check out the Admin guide for the complete list.
