Yeah. I keep forgetting about TS since we don't use it here. OTOH, it seems from past readings of this and the Tight-VNC list, that TS and VNC (of any flavor, AFAIK) don't "play well" together. Maybe that will change. Don't know. I, for one, would love it if VNC on Windoze became more line VNC on *nix, so that you could have virtual desktops with VNC.

It is in fact possible do create distinct desktops (see Microsoft terminal services) on Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. By default you get your own sandbox and it wasn't until Windows 2003 that terminal services also offers connectivity to the actual console. Concerning WinVNC, by design it was choosen that VNC for Windows grabs the console instead of creating it's own display and thus whatever ports you make available, they are all the same console. This choice is probably related to the past when Windows was indeed single user (but multitasking).
