Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Amen!
So is this an attempt to Embrace, Distend, and Extinguish VNC? I use (and count on) the ability to get to my workstation when I'm logged off of it on an almost daily basis.

YAN reason not to "upgrade"

"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."
Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
New Hadn't thought of that, but you're right
This is aimed pretty squarely at VNC and other remote access technologies. In fact, I think it's now a decades-old design choice that has evolved into a business plan: It used to be one user per machine; now it's one license per user per machine.

The article wasn't clear about some things:
  1. Vista (current beta) requires a user to be logged in before you can see the machine remotely. Elsewhere in the article it showed that you can specify that only users with an account on this system can see it. If you try to connect from machine A to machine B, do you have to be logged to machine A as the same user you're connecting to machine B as?
  2. Is the match strictly on username?
  3. Does this mean if one company buys another, and they each have users with a username of "jsmith", that one user automatically gets permission to the other user's system?
  4. Will licensing be per-user, the same as it is on servers?
  5. If so, will the administrator accounts you create require their own licenses?

Okay, so there were a lot of things that aren't clear.
