I said "pick one" :-) Honestly I've had pretty lackluster results with virtualizing Citrix servers. Not too excited on that prospect presently. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nick Smith Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 11:16 AM To: 'thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [THIN] Re: if you could only choose one... 32-bits VMs and App-V.

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. ________________________________ SUBJECT TO CONTRACT
