I'm looking to implement a thin-client / TS (or RDS) solution in our main office and was wondering if anyone could comment on using Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS or Server 2003's TS's? Are there pros/cons for/against either? Stability, security, cost, management tools, etc. We currently have 2003 licenses but if there is an advantage with RDS then perhaps I should implement my solution using Server 2008 R2.
Thanks to all in advance!

In Windows Server 2008, you can deploy just the apps via web-access feature, and that way the load on the server is much lighter versus deploying the whole desktop with apps. You can also deploy apps as remote programs to your users local desktops.
Included in Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services, but not in Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services:
