Terminal Services RemoteApp on Windows Server 2008

author Posted by: din100 on date Feb 26th, 2008 | filed Filed under: nerdy stuff

Wow,  what a feature , basically It will allow application to run on the server with out users knowing they are running it from the server. As far as they concern It’s look and feel like their local app but it doesn’t use any local resources,  it’s actually terminal session under the hood.  I played with office 2003 (need a volume license )under server 2008 works really well with vista I haven’t tried with xp but I been told it will work with xp sp 3 (haven’t tried)

Application of this technology are  limitless  say a large/medium  organizations  can manage few of  this servers and users can use any old pc and  works faster, all data are  safe no need to running around upgreading ram on users pcs and see why it’s running slow etc, if face users don’t even need a pc they can be managed with thin clients.

So I decided to play with stardock-windowblinds on my virtual  xp 20080218-235410.jpg

It’s a part of stardock object desktop or some thing any way you can buy it alone as well. I not big fan of this things as generally this things slow a computer down etc. to my surprise this worked really well I only had 256mb set to the virtual xp still I didn’t notice any noticeable performance hit and comes off very easy . I like it so much I bought it :$ even though I’m not gone use it on my main machine :D

while I’m leaning to touch type,  I searched some typing videos. Come a cross this  1940s navy video about learning to type. They are not easy as i thought (operating a typewriter) their are few rules you have to fellow or your typing will look ugly on the paper etc I put up the video,  when I manage to upload it to youtube

What’s up with adobe flash player and IE

author Posted by: din100 on date Feb 14th, 2008 | filed Filed under: general

why can’t they just let us download a exe or msi for IE, It’s find for firefox but on an IE  you have to jump lot of hoops to get it working specially on cooperate environment. :(

asking to sign up a licence agreement to download the msi for a player is bit too much :@
