I had been using VMWare Server 2 for a few years now. It was free and provided extra features that were not present in VMWare Player. Unfortunately I found out that VMWare Server is no longer going to be supported as of June 2011. I needed to make a decision quickly so I could stand up a Linux CentOS VM to run a memory intensive software stack. For me VMWare Server probably would not have worked anyway because of memory and processor restrictions. I decided to look to 3 different solutions to get me up and running quickly, VMWare Player, … Read More

Single or Multiple RDP Sessions – Remote Desktop – Vista Example

AshokTechnical TipsLeave a Comment

Connecting to my machine at home, I wanted to ensure I logged into the same session each time. If I was working at home, but later wanted to log in remotely from a different location to pick up where I left off, I couldn’t do that so easily since the default was creating a new session for my user.

But with the improvements in virtualization technology, advantages proven now over years, apparent “stickiness” of the leading players, our own maturity in this … Read More
