If you have run a Winframe/Metaframe/Terminal Server you know how much very low level coding went into getting it to work, and it still doesn't work fully (in that many applications write either to c:\... or their installed application directory, both of which are no-no's in a shared user machine). Oh the the reliance on DLL's in the system directory of the server means that you can only ever have one version of a MS product installed. There is a really big leap between hacking into the graphics code, which is what VNC does, and rewriting the OS (BTW Citrix has a license to MS's source code or it wouldn't have been able to). -- -------------- David A.
