Distant Desktop ( Free Remote Desktop Software)

It entertains me how a thread goes from a specific backup software to a Microsoft account holy war. Carry on.

The best part of waking up!

Oh, come now gentlemen, I fail to believe that you have not encountered what is commonly called "thread drift" on many occasions in your travels on forums. It happens all the time, particularly after the original question has been addressed and someone happens to throw out "an interesting side topic" that then takes off. The difference between thread drift and thread hijacking is the original question having been addressed or not.

I cannot count the number of times I've seen threads drift and meander into multiple drifts.

The topic started as remote software. Also funny that the user has not been back.

Once the right people are involved thread drift is inevitable.

Carry on.

A clear dog-whistle endorsement of your crazy Second Amendment. We see what you're doing.

Well this is my lawn mower after all. Freshly mowed today.

Participating in thread-drift on these forums always gives me the feeling I'm doing something wrong, because the other forum I visit regularly (whirlpool) moderates out any off-topic comments.

@fincoder,

Enjoy the frisson!

what is a single advantage to just encrypting a folder or three, versus FDE?

I use FDE on all my own machines. The only minor annoyance seems to be having to decrypt to install a feature update.

I'm not sure "tested on 32 computers" gives me a good warm 'n fuzzy....

It's about the size of the in-house test lab we used when developing the Citrix ICA client software back in the Nineties/Noughties, and that seems to have worked out OK.

How does a company support 10+ team members without any revenues?

I was wondering that myself as well.

It seems like it could be a "If the product is free, you're the product" scenario. Moderately frightening from the level of remote control software.

Could we have input @alex999 on this?
