I said "pick one" :-)

 

Honestly I've had pretty lackluster results with virtualizing Citrix
servers.  Not too excited on that prospect presently.

32-bits VMs and App-V. Gives you both, in effect.

Windows 2008 R2 is 64-bit only.  App-V is 32-bit only (presently).  If
you had to pick one which would it be - 64-bit arch or app
virtualization? (and why?)

 

64bit means more memory and more users per server, but possibly some
compatibility issues

App-V means less app conflicts and hence less silos, but 32 bit only.  

 

I'm planning for a Citrix farm upgrade and curious about your thoughts.
