[THIN] Re: Anyone using Application virtualization inside a Citrix/TS session?

But what is the real costs? Citrix's Solution is CCU where as Microsoft is
not. Also, doesn't App-V require SA and an Enterprise agreement?

Thanks for the advice Steve. XenApp Enterprise does like kind of
pricey (likely at least another $100USD/concurrent user) App-V TS is
less than $40USD though with the integration with Citrix it might be
worth it. Definitely going to pit them head to head.
