Remote Desktop??
-
Hi, I am not quite sure if this is the right place to put this but forgive me if it is not. I have recently being toying with the idea of developing what i can quite inadequately only describe as a remote desktop. This will bear similarities with a citrix system on a network, except it will not primarily be on a network. Imagine if you would a platform with a reliable internet connection, it need not have any applications installed apart from a client side application. This application allows it to embed within it any application for which it is licensed(an authorised client/subscriber) to use from a server running those applications. Essentially it will be like having your c:\Program Files drive on a remote server. One would not necesarily need to have an application to use it. It may be possible to work around licensing by charging on a per thread/per single use basis. Initial responses are that this domain is too vast for single developer implementation. As such it would be worthwhile identifying potential problem areas and contributing to those. A totally simplistic, if at all realistic approach will be to use a common interface/ medium across all platforms ie www. and embed applications in typical applet style. If there is any interest, critisism, contributions or any help on this and relating issues I would be most grateful for some feedback. I am considering this as a potential degree project. Direct contact will also be welcome.
