I've used both NT 4.0 TS in conjunction with the Citrix MetaFrame product and played a bit with Win2K TS; both work, my feeling is that screen performance is not as crisp and quick as forms of similar complexity using standard Windows or ActiveX controls in VB, VC++ or Delphi, largely due to the non-standard control behaviors in VFP which handle forms as bitmaps rather than Windows controls, standard controls can be sent to the client and manipulated on that end, relieving the host of the burden of detailed control manipulation and requiring much less bandwidth. There are issue with the older Citrix product based on NT 3.51 and some VFP UI objects - there have been several threads in the past couple of months here and on the Wiki site.
