Just my .02 cents worth --- several months ago, I went through all of the
online documentations that Microsoft provides for SBS2003, and out of the 10
or so separate documents, only two made any reference to the fact that TS in
App Mode was not a supported product.

Although I completely agree with Chris that removing TS/App Mode from
SBS2003 was the right decision, the fact of the matter is that SBS2000 did
have that as an option, and it is NOT clearly stated that it has been
dropped.

I think they needed to slap a big ole red warning tag on every box of
SBS2003 that says "TS in App Mode is no longer available". But the problem
then is that no one will see it until AFTER they have bought SBS2003!

C'est la vie!
