I had a great conversation with Ron Oglesby and a couple of others a few
weeks ago on this exact subject.  You won't get many workstations on and
keep performance.  the amount of money you will spend will be immense to
implement the solution.

Can't quite see why you would do that. If that's a route your looking at
just use the inbuilt RDP connection to each XP machine and run on native
vmware server (ideally ESX)
 

But to answer your question your talking maybe 4 XP machines on a standard
32bit server with 4Gb. Remembering the overheads

Does anyone have any scaling feedback on running VMWare workstation 5 on PS
as a published app serving up XP desktops? # of sessions per server, etc. 
would be helpful

Please don't respond to debate the merits, this is for a customer project in
which a single app will be run from these XP instances and it must be done
this way!!!!
