Windows 2000 Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame 24seven

Windows 2000 Server's Terminal Services (the updated version of Windows NT 4 Terminal Server Edition) enable IT professionals to administer a centrally located thin-client environment. Terminal Services effectively turn desktop computers into "semi-dumb" terminals. While Terminal Services make this centralized architecture possible, Citrix MetaFrame, an add-on product, extends their capabilities on both the server and the workstation end by enhancing management functions, allowing for seamless software distribution to end-users, and incorporating non-Windows clients (Unix, Mac, CE/PalmOS handheld devices)
