I've never had a great experience with it.

It always tries to search online first for things that I know are on my local system. It irks me too. Like if I'm searching for Putty, it brings up an advert for it, rather than the local application!

Others have said that as well. I haven't had that experience.

I've had both experiences. Though lately it's worked as desired - local first, then online.

that's what's weird, I've had both too... side by side on machines installed the same way!

yep - I use Clonezilla to deploy machines - it's weird that they act differently.

They are lost from the "start"...,

Favorite line!

I used to use BeOS, long, long ago. I still have the boxed copy around someplace. And I think that I still have some books on it.

The author even mentions in the article "No machine"

Which I think is pretty funny. I haven't used it or set it up. I suppose I should try it.

NoMachine is the company that makes the NX protocol. That's all. X2Go is the free implementation of NX/NoMachine that we all use.

Well the freely available NoMachine is more like a team viewer replacement. You only have the single shared session. It also has remote support tools like chat and a whiteboard.

When did that change? I used to use that and it was like X2Go.

I think a while ago. If you want their terminal server version you have to pay for it.

They also have a web based version, but it's also only the paid version.

I'm currently finding myself in a bad situation. A customer has Outlook 2013 and is connecting via IMAP to RackSpace email (non Exchange). After their recent upgrade to Windows 10, they discovered that IMAP wasn't syncing things correctly back to RackSpace. They lost all of their sent mail and several people lost random stuff from within folders. It's a very bizarre situation.

They are looking to leave RackSpace now and move to Hosted Exchange/O365.

Roll20.net used WebRTC also. It was really gitchy when i first started my campaign back up in it. though, so we used hangouts for the voice/video.
