I am primarily a Mac (at home Dual Core G5 PPC) user but write Xplatform RB Apps...

When i'm at home I test on VPC Win2K... but XP's look is sufficently different that i wonder if i shoudl not get XP and install it on VPC with the thought that when i get my next Mac in a couple of years (which will obviously be Intel) I could have it for there ... (Vista would be out of the question until I get an Intel Mac so it's not a concern right now in terms of purchasing XP)

I ONLY use Windows at home to test my RB apps and I don''t see that ever changing unless Apple goes out of business!

Anway there is a $100 difference between XP home and XP professional and looking at the blurbs on PC Connection I realy don't see what the difference are and if they would matter to me!

Could someone please enlighten me?


The short answer is:

XP home then you cannot Remote Desktop onto it,

UltraVNC (for a great price, too...)

Mark

Well.....VNC vs Remote Desktop (AKA the Citrix Server which is where Remote desktop comes from)

Well.....I am sorry to say there is no solution that comes even close to the Remote Desktop (The Citrix solutions)

Same with Apple Remote Desktop (which is VNC based), it just is not cutting it (sadly).

The difference is that the Citrix solutions are sending Win GDI calls while VNC is sending bitmaps.
