Conclusion
As we’ve seen in this chapter, Terminal Services has been greatly enhanced in Windows Server 2008 with new features such as TS RemoteApp, TS Web Access, and TS Gateway—plus lots of security, manageability, and user experience improvements too numerous to list here and many of which we’ve described. In my mind, Windows Server 2008 has changed the whole meaning of Terminal Services from a platform for providing remote access to different types of clients (thin/fat, Windows/non) to a powerful and secure application-deployment platform that enterprises can use to provide remote users with access anywhere and anytime. The evolution of this platform is remarkable—I can’t wait to see what there will be in future versions!
