When I reviewed Terminal Server vs Citrix a couple years ago the Microsoft
rep who came out to make the pitch stated that if we cared about security
of the connection we needed to use Citrix becouse Terminal Server did not
implement enough for use over untrusted links.

so either use Terminal Server over a VPN or use Citrix (citrix will
implement strong encryption and can do strong authentication tokens as
well)

Being the paranoid that I am, I do not want to do this but I need better reasons/ammunition other than saying "it would be bad". I am looking for pointers to information hopefully in support of my fear of M$ security. Also, the more recent the information the better.
