I agree with Srini. At times it does make sense to chip in and help, but then again no one is giving me the extra $50 I am losing on my Medicaid patients, lol.
I do think that the pro version should come with ignition. I would suggest for anyone who has three or four Pros to contact the company and see if they will throw in some ignitions.
By the way, moving files is cool, but has anyone really said, "Gee, I wish I had pro so I could print this out?"
There is also such things as Virtual Network Computing with RealVPN, UltraVPN and TightVPN, etc. I have tried those, and they are fun. RWW allows you to set up a split second VPN connection and run RDP over it for added security.
Personally, I think that the term VPN gets thrown around way too much. There are some software versions which allow desktop access, but if you set up a real old-fashioned router to router VPN, you are going to need some type of terminal services, Citrix, ICA, whatever to see the desktop. VPN can allow for two way transmission of data, which can cause some issues. VPN is the technology one uses for connecting two or more offices together, done best with router to router. But, when just remoting in from home, LogMeIn is about all you need.
Srini, I am not sure what 2008 has, but I bet it is about the same or an improvement on Remote Web Workplace. I know people just read RWW, and dismiss it, because it is basically only with SBS, but it allows everything faster and more secure than just about anything. And, it allows for authentication three times in three ways. The nice thing about it is, after you log into the server, you can log into ANY or ALL PCs on your LAN. Plus it enables you (or maybe you can anyway) to set up RPC/HTTP for Outlook, which is way too cool.
Another thing not mentioned here is Remoting in with RDP or LogMeIn and then using the Remote Desktop Connection feature to log into other machines. This works great although it can get a little sticky at times backing out.
Which reminds me of a story brought back to me, because it happened while I was talking to Adam about RDP. I was headed home late on a Friday night last year. I just gotten by GPS and was excited about my new technology. So, I come to the main intersection before my last stretch of road through Hampden to my house. There are like 25 police cars and firetrucks, etc. so I was told I had to go right. Now, I have been here for twelve years, and I still only know three towns and about five roads. So, after about 30 minutes of trying to find a way around, I was lost. So, no problem. I pulled out my trusty GPS, programmed in my address, and let it guide me home. I never even stopped to think that the best way home according to the GPS was to direct me to that intersection.
