Two ways that you can experience remote Windows computing:

1) A basic Terminal Services client is included in Windows XP. From any Windows XP computer:
-Start
-Run
-Type mstsc and hit Enter
-Enter secure.jagtechassoc.com in the Computer: Field
-Click Connect
-Enter user1 and u53r1-123 as the username and password or
user2 and u53r2-123 or
user3 and u53r3-123

You may have to hit OK to allow access to your local drives and printers, which is the default setting, or uncheck those boxes, your choice.  Note that you can edit some of the connection settings to use less bandwidth (transmit faster), notably under Options in the MSTSC, under the Display and Experience tabs.

You should be able to run any of the Microsoft Office applications from the Programs menu , even over a slow connection.  We could also have installed OpenOffice, which saves a few dollars, because there is no licensing cost.

Running applications like this typically takes about 25Kbits/second, and you may recall that even dialup from 10 years ago usually connects at at least that speed, so you can run a lot of users on  a DSL or cable connection.

You can, and we recommend, running applications using this technology from a diskless thin client .

See our Conversion Strategy Document for example options

Provision Networks has excellent vision, relationships, and products in the thin client market.

You can see video demos, and even install and try their product from their demo page .

Some of the features, like USB port redirection for Palm and Blackberry devices may not apply to you.

The video demos show that running remotely hosted applications can be exactly the same (see Connecting to a Server Farm Using AppPortal-Desktop Integration) as running a locally installed application.

The transition to this time and money saving technology can be as easy as installing the Provision client on your existing Windows PCs.
