Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0) provides a way to
use any new Terminal Services features introduced in Microsoft Windows Vista
and Microsoft Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" from a computer running
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Microsoft Windows Server 2003
with Service Pack 1.
So what is this and why is this cool?
A couple of reasons...but it is the client you will need to better connect to Vista machines and Longhorn....but mainly this is cool because of this:
Monitor spanning
Remote Desktop Connection supports high-resolution displays that can be spanned across multiple monitors. However, the total resolution on all monitors must be under 4,096 x 2,048. The monitors must have the same resolution. Additionally, the monitors must be aligned side-by-side.
To have the desktop of the remote computer span multiple monitors, type Mstsc /span at a command prompt.
Visual improvements
Remote Desktop Connection now supports 32-bit color and font smoothing.
To enable 32-bit color, follow these steps:
| 1. |
Start Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. |
Click Options, click the Display tab, and then click Highest Quality (32 bit) in the Colors list. |
To enable font smoothing, follow these steps:
| 1. |
Start Remote Desktop Connection. |
| 2. |
Click Options, click the Experience tab, and then click to select the Font smoothing check box |
