Excellent! I'm working on making a push for some Platinum licenses of XenDesktop for next year. Although i haven't tested the Citrix Profile solution, I'm pretty convinced my budget won't allow me to purchase a separate add-on for Profile management...yet. I'm hoping the combination of Branch Repeater and Citrix Profile Management will work well. Thanks again.
