[edit] Back Orifice peer review
We are having a peer review for remote administration tool Back Orifice. We're hoping that you could join the discussion and give us some ideas, how to improve the article further. --Easyas12c 19:54, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Difference?
Apart from the lack of Remote Desktop, what other differences are there in Home and Professional editions? --Tenryuu 21:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disadvantages(?!)
I fail to see how RDP not being in Windows XP Home is a "disadvantage" of the RDP protocol itself? Therefore I renamed "Disadvantages" to "Supported Operating Systems". It also might be interesting to note the differences between RDP and ICA... or even VNC. Urbanriot 18:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Actually XP Home does contain an RDP server but it can only be accessed via the Remote Assistance feature. Windows 2000 Server also contains an RDP server, of course, but the Terminal Services client is not installed by default. Windows 2000 Professional does not provide an RDP client. --80.175.250.218 09:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- But Windows 2000 pro can run an RDP client, and has an unlimited client license for using it. Crocodealer 06:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] style
Could someone please change all occurances of 'to remote' into 'to access remotely'? It hurts. Guenthert
- Real pedants wouldn't stand the verb 'access', either, but it's easier than thinking. 'Abstracted' might be a suitable word, if it weren't so heavily overloaded in the industry. Superficially that may have similar status to access, but I'm not so sure. --ToobMug 11:10, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] supported operating systems
It should be mentioned that there is an open source implementation of the RDP server (for Linux and Unix/Unix like OS): xrdp. Guenthert
[edit] general observation about definitions
Like a lot of technical definitions, this one does not really tell a user who knows very little what this protocol really does. I.e., what is the end user use case, how do RDP and MS Term Services help them do something? I have not used MTS so I can't answer this myself. I also don't mean this as a gripe, Wikipedia is an unbelievably positive accomplishment.
[edit] Seamless Windows ?
The page says RDP 6.0 has the following new feature : "Seamless Windows: Remote applications can run on a client machine that are served by a Remote Desktop" connection. But older versions also can run remote apps on a client machine. Or does it mean, that the actual program is transferred and executed on the client ? Please clarify.
