I love this:

Q.       <<...OLE_Obj...>>      Why didn't you implement concurrent or Per
Session TS licensing? It was included in Release Candidate 1(RC1)-why did
you take it out?        
 <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>>      

A.       <<...OLE_Obj...>>      Per Session licensing was evaluated in the
beta and RC1 pre-release versions of Terminal Server in Windows Server 2003.
During the evaluation period, Microsoft received customer feedback that Per
Session was good, but that it was being used as a substitute for Per User
licensing. In addition, Microsoft has received regular feedback that
consistency in licensing should be a top priority. Windows Server 2003 will
offer user licensing in Windows Server 2003; therefore, user licensing for
Terminal Server is more consistent with Windows Server, and is more in line
with the future direction of Microsoft licensing.       

Sure... sure it is.
