Snakeoil Ignore Button. The coward's feature. Premium join:2000-08-05 Mentor, OH kudos:1 Reviews: ·RoadRunner Cable ·magicjack.com	reply to Xstar_Lumini Is this another one of those VNC type of things? Where you control a PC remotely on your Ipad? I trird a few of them, shortly after getting my 1st gen Ipad. The experience wasn't worth it at all. It was slow. -- Is a person a failure for doing nothing? Or is he a failure for trying, and not succeeding at what he is attempting to do? What did you fail at today?.

Octavean Premium,MVM join:2001-03-31 New York, NY kudos:1	reply to Xstar_Lumini Re: New Service To Give iPad Owners 1GB/sec Net Speeds Sounds interesting but I have to see it first hand to believe it. Also, for what it’s worth, hawking “Windows” to Apple users is something of a mixed bag. Those on iOS devices may not necessarily be hard core Apple users but there are likely a fair number that run screaming from MS Windows when it comes to a computer OS. Not me personally because I like Windows and OS X (gasp did he just say that,…? Why, yes. Yes I did ) but I can see the irony here. OS X would probably be a little more palatable here for some in this respect but I’m sure Apple would have none of it without catapulting a couple of dozen lawyers in their(Onlive) general direction. Not sure how they are getting away with this with Microsoft either,….

I trird a few of them, shortly after getting my 1st gen Ipad. The experience wasn't worth it at all. It was slow. As I said in the now locked thread: OnLive is not exactly the same as VNC. And the basic version is free (includes access to Office apps, but not IE or Acrobat). In general, OnLive has better performance (clicking/dragging/etc) than VNC across the internet but sacrifices some quality for that performance. -- University of Southern California - Fight On!

But you do need a reasonable data connection for it to be performant. Not sure this is breakthrough territory, but for those that need such a thing it could be useful. -- My place : »www.schettino.us

You install the iOS app, apply for an account and then are able to run the app which runs Win7 remotely with basic MS Office apps, IE, etc. You do not need your own Windows license. -- My Gallery Formerly Nezmo
