Windows uses RDP (remote desktop protocol). A Microsoft invention (well really something they bought and slapped their anme on it). RDP is nothing like X11's network protocol, and RDP is not built into GDI, it is separate installed software (but the client software comes standard with Windows). RDP is something similar to VNC, but apparently more efficient. Linux devs also implemented RDP (server and client), so that could already be used now in X11 and probably in the future with Wayland. Wayland might still get remote window support built-in, but that will come later. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
