I'd like to know where they are getting this customer feedback... Just =
about everyone I've ever meet thinks concurrent (per session) licensing =
is the way to go for Terminal Services.  Does 2k3 not offer concurrent =
licenses for regular client/server services... NT4.0/W2K offered =
concurrent license or per seat.

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?=09
 <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>> =09

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. =09

Sure... sure it is.
