This getting way off topic here. But -- *nix Are the easier to install. As A Tech I have installed several thousands of boxes. I regularly runnin got more problems out of windows than any other OS, period. anyway that has little to do with the topic at hand. As to becoming like Citrix, VNC is not intend to operate like that. First Problem is that the 9X line of windows is single user and would take a a code rewrite to fix that( Don't see gates letting us play with his toys). Second probelm is as it stands WinVNC is not built to function like that as is was coded to work in a single userserver. You could make a major fork of VNC that rewrote the code base to make a multiuser a ware xserverthat runs on windows, But then you would have teh problem for running it on an unsecure multiuser unaware system and that is asking for nothing but headaches. Best bet would be to target a fork at allowing multi user access to an NT/2000/XP box. Here Xp has a edge. It i the first mult user multi interface aware version of Windo! ws out of teh box thanks to the fact that MS used the Terminal Servercode base to setup the Fastuser switching feature. That is also why Ithink VNC has been haveinf fits on Xp boxes.
