Yes, be sure to test this thoroughly, with multiple concurrent
users connections, since you wrote that "the applications do not
and are not ever likely to be compatibly with application mode".
I might also be good to know that Terminal Services (which implies
Application mode, as it was called in W2K) must be installed
*before* you install any user applications. So you cannot install
it on your existing server without first uninstalling all
applications.
