Coolest end user feature of Longhorn Beta 3

Server is boring… right? You won’t catch a user stowed away in your datacenter just to play with Server Manager’s new role interface.. I’ve never seen people lined up outside a Best Buy trying to get their hands on the latest and greatest Group Policy changes. There are some cool features for us end users, the real consumers of the product that we never see unless it’s through the snazzy secure-looking glass windows on the “meet our IT guys” tour.

RemoteApp is something I found that makes Longhorn “cool” for the guys/gals on the receiving end of an upgrade.

2 years ago, my dodge ball team CRUSHED the TS team at the local gym and, as this has nothing to do with TS, it just needed to be said. From the TS docs - RemoteApp programs are programs that are accessed remotely through Terminal Services and appear as if they are running on the end user's local computer. Users can run RemoteApp programs side by side with their local programs. A user can minimize, maximize, and resize the program window, and can easily start multiple programs at the same time. That’s cool.

Drop a comment if you think you have a cooler end user feature for Longhorn.
