Except that to remain license compliant you need to ensure all of your
users have licenses for those applications anyway.

What you think terminal services or citrix is a CHEAPER solution than
deploying apps to desktops?  Only on REALLY large scales, and site
licenses for these apps are still required.

Hey Paul,
Things like Citrix work exactly like this. So that way you do not have
to install programs on each and every user workstation; in this case
Office and Adobe possibly primarily because licenses are costly.
