Remote Desktop Mobile and Windows 7 Demonstration on new Sprint 6.5 ROM

[NIKOKAPS]

With the excitement that came with the new Sprint 6.5 ROM also came Remote Desktop Mobile. Remote Desktop is old news and I am sure we have seen it running in the past. But using the Touch Pro 2 and the glory of its WVGA resolution makes the experience a lot more functional. Lets not forget that the hardware keyboard makes this that much better, something the HD2 can only drool for. For those that have never seen Remote Desktop Mobile in action I would like to share my experience I had on my Touch Pro 2 with this demonstration running Windows 7, including loading web pages, photoshop, bluetooth transfer, and MS Office.

From your Windows desktop login info:
Use whatever your desktop login username is when you sign in to Windows, and your desktop login password.
Then whatever you have named your shared domain to be on your PC, when you set up network sharing.

the domain name is not Necessary and you can leave it blank.One thing that i had to change is. . .you HAVE to have a password set to log into your computer.i did not,but had to set one up.

Don't forget that only certain versions of Windows support Remote Desktop -- for example, Win 7 Home Premium does not, but Win 7 Pro does.
