canadian397 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I got Xp Pro on all my computer so I could do this (plus security). It's great. I can make it seem like i'm running Windows Xp Pro on a 90mhz laptop when it's actually running off my 1.67ghz machine, lol. So who else uses remote desktop?

L3thal Veteran Posted July 31, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 31, 2004 LMAO, I have it disabled. I find no need for it since I never have PC issues which requires someone to take control of my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+virtorio MVC Posted July 31, 2004 MVC Share Posted July 31, 2004 Remote Desktop is one of the reasons why I want XP Professional, but I have Home. I would use it but I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NetRyder Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I use UltraVNC over the internet. It feels more responsive than Remote Desktop because of compression techniques. Remote Desktop still works nicely over the LAN though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sciguy007 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 i use it every now and then to connect to my schools servers, which have lots of useful software on them for me to use for free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamend Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I think it's one of the best and most understated features of Windows XP. Some people might only see it as a remote administration tool, but I find that it's very usefull for day-to-day use, especially if you have both a laptop and a desktop computer. It's also great if you need to kill the boredom at work or if you need to do some work from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jormartr Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I don't trust Internet Explorer nor Outlook, nor other microsoft technologies by its security big big holes. Why trust on this? Just use UltraVNC. Great software, much more features than WXP VNC. I always use 3rd software if I can. Microsoft has not got security at all!!
