You got it backwards, Citrix (Metaframe) is the core of Terminal server Microsoft purchased the code from Citrix to build Terminal server into NT. Christopher Koeber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hmmm, your right, I think Citrix is just extending the capabilities of Terminal Server. But can't some of us on this list find out a way to let VNC be as good as Cirtix, or become even Greater than Citrix (even better!!!). What I am thinking is that if we can get look at a VNC server installed properly on any OS from any VNC client, we should be able to undertake this. I know that it may be a difficult task, but if a couple of people can create Unix and Linux, I know that this is definitly possible. Hopefully, though, one day everyone won't half to worry about that guy at One Microsoft Way.
