Do we think such problems are due mostly to the
system wide limit or the individual winstation?

(Most people on a non-TS machine would be using
one WinStation and one DeskTop -- ok, technically
a couple of desktops since the Logon Screen and I
believe the Screensaver security are technically 2
others.)

I haven't written any WinStation code for years but
my guess would be that TS sessions are run in
separate WinStations or at least separate desktops.
