2005/06/30 Multi-User XP

Take me back to days of old with multiuser DOS . Most of the smarter folks used Xenix rather than these kludges, but I used to run into this stuff now and then.

Here we have http://www.thinsoftinc.com/ doing the same thing but with Windows XP - their Buddy B-680 Premium/Lite or BeTwin software, a handful of PCI cards, and one machine is two or more (up to five). Deja Vu all over again..

But these folks do have some more interesting products. One is WinConnect Server XP, which creates up to 21 RDP sessions, apparently at less cost than Windows Terminal Server (though of course you still need to license the apps - Microsoft gets it piece no matter what). Perhaps more interesting to the readers of this web site are the WinConnect and WinConnect VX products, which front-end a Linux system to a RDP server. Nothing you couldn't do yourself, of course, but sometimes commercial products are easier for the end-users.

Psst - Wanna work for yourself?
