TS and SP3 (Yes, SP3)

A Citrix consultant came onsite to help with a problem
and while troubleshooting our servers, proclaimed we
shouldn't have installed SP3 as it's just riddled with
problems for TS/Citrix servers. He didn't provide any
actual direct evidence of this, but did feel strongly
enough to mention it in his paperwork to management.
(SP3 was not, btw, the cause of any of the issues.)

Does anyone know of any major reasons to not install SP3
for TS/Citrix servers? I realize this may be moot since
SP4 is now out, but we still have a good number of
installed servers that are on SP3.

Any info is appreciated.

Don't ya just love it how someone comes into your computer
room and thinks they know it all...

SP3 had some problems with redirected printing, which is
probably what the consultant was referring to. However, a
hotfix was released a little while after SP3 was released
that fixed the problem.

FWIW, that didn't bite me - I think it is *because* Citrix is
installed too. Citrix does its own printer redirection. I too hate it
when consultants come in with unsubstantiated data. :-\ That is
usually the last thing they say before they are asked to leave the
premises. :-)
