I'd like to know where they are getting this customer feedback... Just =
=3D
about everyone I've ever meet thinks concurrent (per session) licensing
=3D is the way to go for Terminal Services.  Does 2k3 not offer =
concurrent
=3D licenses for regular client/server services... NT4.0/W2K offered =3D
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 =
=3D
did you take it out?=3D09
 <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>>       <<...OLE_Obj...>> =3D09

A.       <<...OLE_Obj...>>      Per Session licensing was evaluated in
the
beta and RC1 pre-release versions of Terminal Server in Windows Server =
=3D
2003. During the evaluation period, Microsoft received customer feedback
that =3D Per Session was good, but that it was being used as a =
substitute
for Per =3D User licensing. In addition, Microsoft has received regular
feedback that consistency in licensing should be a top priority. Windows
Server 2003 =3D will offer user licensing in Windows Server 2003;
therefore, user licensing =3D for Terminal Server is more consistent =
with
Windows Server, and is more in =3D line with the future direction of
Microsoft licensing. =3D09

Sure... sure it is.
