I wonder how Windows XP does remote GUI without an x11 architecture. In windows XP they have something called "Remote Assistance" which is something like VNC I think (faster? I don't know). So without an x11 architecture I wonder how they make windows remote capable. Possibly something similar to vnc so maybe not as efficient as x11, I do not know, I haven't tried remote assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
