We see significantly less - around 15 users on a VM with 2 vCPUs and 8GB of RAM before the CPU is pegged. As always it all depends on what applications you're running..

So far on 2K8 with XA5 we can get around 50 users on VM's with good performance. We have seen about the same numbers for PS4 on 2K3.

Please realize that not everyone will use XD vs. XA, and that not everyone has the Advanced/Enterprise versions. We presently can get up to 45-50 users (a bit slow) on PS 4.0 on our physical servers, we have 3 of them, usually with 25-30 users running very comfortably. I would be encouraged to know if I can get 20-25 users per virtualized XA server on ESX, then I would know I need at least 4 Citrix hosts.

I'm seeing much higher CPU utilization on XA 5/Server 2008 than I did with Server 2003, which is hurting user density. Looking forward to your articles.
