Well blades, but I'm doing that.
I'm not entirely sure on the whole booting from the SAN thing - I can
see some pros, but also some cons.
I'd do an awful amount of thinking and soul searching about what I
wanted to do about file and print - MSCS for big scenarios hasn't always
been such a panacea, and the whole model (even with 2003 ES) isn't so
great WRT dfs.
The more I think about it the more I think some provisioning / volume
management software is the way to go with filestore, and abstracting it
from the physical / sorta logical architecture.
Choice of clients and consideration of their entry within the farm,
would be another factor.
It gets a whole deal vague, though, because I don't just do TS / Citrix
stuff, and not just windows, either, so a blank sheet of paper
representing the data-centre looks rather big...
