 Want to understand the differences between Presentation Server 4.5 and Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003? Take a look at the new 14-page [Citrix Presentation Server on Windows Terminal Services: A Feature Analysis|http://www.citrix.com/xenappcomparativematrix]  just completed by the Citrix Technical Marketing Team. But this is not just the Citrix perspective on what is different between the products. This document was co-developed with a couple of members from the Microsoft Terminal Services team ([blog|http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/]), so it is the view of Citrix **and*\* Microsoft on the products.
  
 The analysis looks at these 5 areas:
 * Centralized Control
 * Application Compatibility
 * Optimized User Experience
 * Comprehensive Access
 * Enterprise Scalability
  
 By the way, If you combined download counts for earlier versions of the Presentation Server and Terminal Services side-by-side evaluation docs previously available on citrix.com, that combined count would rank as one of the top 5 most downloaded docs in the past 12 months... out of nearly 750 docs on the citrix.com site.
  
 You can also see more Citrix coverage at the tag [Windows Server 2008|http://community.citrix.com/blogs/tag/windows%20server%202008] on the Official Citrix Blog.
  
 Take a read of the new feature analysis and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.
   
 *UPDATE 30 January 2009:*
 Since writing this post, the name of Presentation Server was changed to XenApp. Here is the new doc:
