Ned, thanks for the detail and well thought out answer.
Cláudio, thank you also.

We have an opportunity to use any hardware we want for our new Citrix 4.0
server farm and I'm just trying to figure out what is best and what others
are using.
Our application silos contain many apps, Office Suite etc. I have 5000 users
and 100 + servers. So, if anyone else has opinions I would very much like to
here them!
Thanks again.
