RDP vs VNC - Remotely Controlling a Computer

http://jakewright.net - Remote Desktop Connection and Virtual Network Computing are both protocols used to connect to, and remotely control, another computer. But, what is the difference between Remote Desktop and VNC, and which is better? In this video, I'll explain the general ideas behind each method and outline the differences, hopefully helping you to decide which is best for your needs.

@chrisotherstuff You sound like a right fucking loser trying to impress people. Some people like to get somewhere in life so they can go out to restaurants and bars later in life rather than still having to hang around offies at the weekend.... like they did when they were 14.

Mate cheers. I've been thinking of patching my Windows 7 home premium with an RDP patch to enable it but you made a good point about new sessions. I'm better off using ThinVNC so I can keep an eye on the programs already running.

Or indeed his, review of an ipod dock. he like it, with caveats.

Feargal Sharkey would turn in his grave, if he was dead. We need our teenagers to be surly law breakers, not Open University professors. Read his review of 15foot of network cable, or his review of his big plug if you need further explanation.

Son, go to a dodgy offlicense and get them to sell you Thunderbird fortified wine. Get Blue Thunderbird. And watch how everything magically transforms itself into a world of glorious potential.

I might be wrong, maybe women love this stuff...
