I believe (hope) that RDP is secure because I am not aware of anyone
breaking the security. I am not sure exactly what is used. I know that
no data goes between the server and the workstation, only a 'picture'
and even then it only sends updates to the screen display. So you are
not really seeing the data and nothing is happening on your workstation.
You are only 'seeing' what is happening on the server, in other words,
the program(s) is/are not running on your workstation, only in a server
session. It works great. I have read that Win2012 R2 can support 150+
simultaneous users and servers can be 'clustered' for even more users. I
know that when a client complains about performance on a network with
many workstations, we have been able to resolve it in every case by
using Terminal server/Remote desktop.
Probably someone else on this list could explain it better.

This (Windows Server installation and accessed via RDP) sounds
interesting. How is it secure? You don't meddlers to screw things up
nor steal data.

I have no idea what the answer is to your question.
We get around all those types of questions by having clients install
on Windows server and access with RDP. That way you can use almost
anything, Linux, chrombooks, MAC, android tablets, etc. Anything with
an RDP client.

Got a request from a client asking if their field application would

I dug around Internet searches to find the machine is a quad-core
Intel Atom CPU, 10.1" touchscreen, 2 Gb RAM and 32 Gb SSD. Sounds
sweet, but I'm pretty sure the Atom is NOT x86 compatible and not
suitable for running VFP.
I had been telling clients to avoid "RT" as that was non-x86, and
probably sometimes told them they want an Intel-compatible CPU, which
was bad shorthand, since the Atom is Intel, too.
Microsoft is doing a fine job of confusing users on which machines are
which. Of course, they want to get rid of the Win32-compatible
languages they're no longer supporting (i.e. making money on).
Has anyone come up with a good way of explaining this to a client,
particularly those less computer-savvy?
Can folks confirm I'm right in thinking Atom CPUs are not suitable
for Fox apps?
