VNC just provides remote access to the main keyboard / mouse queue and the transmission of the display.I would like to run multiple copies of an application on a PC with multiple remote dumb clients.Sounds like something better handled with LTSA, VNC or NX. I already have a solution for remote access but my problems are:- I want to have several copies of an application running, each with a remote user. How do I pass the keyboard / mouse data to the right application if there is only one Windows message queue? - on start up an application normally checks to see if a copy of itself is already running and if it is, it stops loading itself. If the NX you are referring to is Linux terminal server then that's no use because: - it doesn't solve the two problems I mentioned above- it is a Linux product and as I previously said, I need a solution with Windows XP. I don't know LTSA can you give me a URL? With unix you can native run several copies of the same application at the same time. With X11 you can even do so from multiple locations. Fine, but as I said, I need a solution for Windows XP. Well that was my original question. As I understand it, Xen has been designed to act as an encapsulation of the OS so that several copies / versions of OS can be run. But it seems a waste of memory (and licence fee?) if I need a complete copy of Windows XP for each copy of the application I want to run. I was wondering whether Xen, or a part of Xen could run on top of Windows XP to encapsulate just the application instead, so that I could run multiple copies of the application but just one copy of the OS.Xen however is very useful for running the domain that might serve such applications. g. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
