Yesterday I installed MPS 4.0 x64 Edition. In my previous post I quoted part of the readme from the CD stating the following: "(Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition supports up to eight CPUs on one server)". Since the R2 beta code requires a trial version of Windows Server 2003, I installed a trial version just in case MPS 4.0 x64 does require a R2 installation, but it doesn't.

MPS 4.0 x64 obviously needs a license server. This license server, needs to be installed on a 32-bit version of Windows. So, after having installed the license server and after creating a published application or two, I installed the Citrix client on a desktop and launched it.

I made some screenshots, you can view them in the Photo Gallery.

The next weeks I will be participating in a PoC for Metaframe Presentation Server 4.0 for x64 and I will be in the position to do some real testing on some real x64 hardware, so stay tuned...

P.S.: I have seen some Citrix confidential numbers on scalability of MPS 4.0 x64 edition vs. MPS 4.0 ia32 edition. I cannot disclose them, let's just say don't miss this TCO saving train (technology)...
