RDM plus is basically the same as RDP, just their twist on it. It uses their own program, so you would need to install that on both ends.

If you like RDP, you can hack it to work on lower tier versions of Vista. To test, just use another computer at the house. To use outside of your network, you will need to open ports on your firewall and use your external address.

Well.. the main difference will be that you'll need to install the RDM+ server on your computer. I haven't personally tried it, but it looks like it's your only real option at this point.

I'm actually curious to see how it performs as well. I've never really been a fan of windows RDP... I use RealVNC for my computers and it is totally awesome.. it's too bad they don't have a mobile client.

Here's the features list:

Looks like it has a few more features than Windows RDP... and the encryption it uses is solid. I've always found remote desktop to be a little weak as far as features go.

Give it a shot and let us know how it goes if you get a chance.

everyone that remotes should atleast give it a shot as there is a 7 day trial...its VERY secure and the feature list is unbelievable you can literally do ANYTHING you could do sitting in front of the box...file transfers..full acess to files processes, any type of imput...it just rocks. im so glad i bought it...and when i did i bought it for my old tmobile shadow since then theyve changed the license to symbian version and now back to windows mobile for my TP2...when most companies could easily say buy another copy
