The problem is this: We have 6 remote users who tie into 6 full size computers. We would like to put these computers to better use. The users use identical applications. With Microsoft Virtual Server we could do all this but we would have to set aside predefined resources even when the users are not logged in all the time, so does that mean App Server would be a better solution? Is there something deeper into App Server or Virtualization that we might not have thought of? Any help would be appreciated.
 
What about Terminal Services?

Thank you for your reply, currently we use Terminal Services which supports one logged in user at a time. Our ultimate goal is one machine, many applications, six users.
 
Look at Terminal Services in Application Mode as TheLad suggested.

Thanks for the help guys we are going to go with the suggested solution. It appears it will be the best possible use of resources for our situation. Once again, thank you.
