Also, Outlook doesn't present you with an automatically generated list of who hasn't responded to your invitations. So unless you're paying attention or you check the meeting, you won't know that I neither accepted nor declined your meeting invite. This leads many people to assume that you've accepted until you specifically decline. But sure it does? If you consult the meeting request from within the meeting organizers' calendar, it displays the status for each attendee. How is that not auto-generated?
The only time you will see an UAC prompt when dealing with files, is if you are dealing with somebody OTHER's files and you need to elevate to grant yourself permissions on that file.
Just as with the common Unix you cannot, and never could with the Windows NT line, delete files you don't have the proper permissions to, and just as with Unix, permissions are not granted by name but per (S)ID.
Hence, when you reinstall your box, you will get another SID for your username, so the files you want to delete are not owned by you and you do not have the permissions to delete them, so you cannot delete them without elevating and setting the proper permissions.
The simple solution is to just become owner of your own files.. but then again, you might be just sprouting off some eight month old rumor:)
You almost smell like a troll the way you are mistating facts, but i'll give you a chance and just file you as ignorant.
Citrix maxes out at around 10-25 users per server. I haven't studied Windows Terminal Server as deeply, but it looks to be about the same.
Citrix is based on terminal servers - so you obviously studied none at all.
Once we buy the 100 servers we would need to support 1000 or so of our users that would be migrated
Actually, most Citrix based migrations count around 35-40 users per server, and per 10 servers one extra server. This would total to about 35 servers instead of your 100.
plus increase our system administration staff to adequately support those servers,
Well, any incompetent administrator needs a lot of time to support their systems, so you need to hire a lot of staff. You could also just hire one competent admin to replace you and you might go very well by. A well administered Citrix server hardly needs any administration.
at all, if any. Plus, if we upgrade all of the related desktop hardware to snazzy new official thin client boxes instead of trying to get more life out of old hardware (which is what they want to do right now), costs go up even more.
Citrix runs on almost any device.
So here's a question for anyone who has studied this issue, or seen its consequences at their workplace: Is thin client really a cost-saving approach to a large user environment?"
In almost all instances it will cut a few from your IT department, increase user satisfactory and in general will create a more satisfied userbase.
Our department has spoken with a Citrix support/sales person who claims you can support up to 1000 clients on a single Citrix server. That seems so far from what I have generally read that I have a hard time buying it. Can anyone corroborate that claim? Again, most users will be using Office, Groupwise, and accessing Oracle DBs.
1000 users on a single server is nonsense - its also something you do not want in case the server goes down (eg: a hardware failure).
Does anyone have any experience with a workplace making this sort of migration? I would love to find a way to make it work, but from the research I have done so far, it doesn't look like we are going to get any cost-savings (unless they miraculously decide to go with Linux)."
I dont see the cost savings in Linux in this particular case.

And this is from a single bug report alone.
You are aware I hope that the last comment (and one earlier) is from a fake Drepper? (check the mail addy)? :)
