>I posted again and asked the guy for specifics, but was ignored, I guess it was just another heresay situation. Some people simply like to mouth off while their brain is disconnected.
>As to the running TS or Citrix instead of PC workstations the difference is astounding I agree; because everything is running on the server, some larger reports come down from 5 minutes or more to half a minute. One of my clients has moved exclusively to thin clients and is very happy. Have to have a good server though with plenty of resource

That's exactly what happened - the file server and the Citrix server are mean machines in the same rack, and probably communicate much faster between themselves compared to users' workstations to servers. Add to the mix that the stations are loaded with all sorts of spyware, adware, dozens of Excel sheets loaded simultaneously, etc etc.
