 With the launch of Windows Server 2008 this past Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2008, the question "Do I need Citrix or is Terminal Services enough" is back en vogue. In fact, the Google search for "[do i need citrix with windows server 2008|http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=do+i+need+citrix+with+windows+server+2008&btnG=Google+Search]" is one of the top 3 search phrases driving traffic to [my blog|http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/bryont/].&nbsp; In that search, my earlier post [Evaluating Project Delaware and Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008|http://community.citrix.com/x/ioEMAQ] is the 6th-ranked result. Brian Madden's classic post, [Do you need Citrix or is Terminal Server enough?|http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/Do-you-need-Citrix-or-is-Terminal-Server-enough], with 22,000\+ views, is the top result. Clearly, people are interested in this topic. Today, Citrix took the next step to help customers understand the differences and released this new white paper:
  
 [Citrix XenApp on Microsoft Windows Terminal Services - A Feature Analysis|http://www.citrix.com/site/resources/dynamic/salesdocs/Citrix_Terminal-Services-XenApp-Feature-Analysis(FEB08).pdf]
  
 Compare the base-level features of Terminal Services within Microsoft® Windows Server® 2003 and Windows Server 2008 to the features of Citrix XenApp™ (the new name for Citrix Presentation Server) running on Windows Server 2003.
  
 Take a read and let us know what you think. I expect this doc will be updated once Project Delaware is released.
  
  UPDATE: The Feature Analysis on Windows Server 2008 has temporarily been removed as we make additional edits based on feedback (thanks\!). The previous version is available [here|http://www.citrix.com/site/resources/dynamic/salesdocs/Citrix_ValueAddToWindowsTerminalServices2003.pdf]. Once the updates are completed, I will re-post the new version on this blog. I apologize for the inconvenience and understand the frustration this may cause.
