I don't think so. AFAICT, RDP (a-la Windows) and VNC both do exaclty |
| 11 |
the same thing: they send display pixel info to be displayed. They |
| 12 |
try to optimize the process by only sending deltas and by using |
| 13 |
various compression schemes, but they're both doing the basically the |
| 14 |
same thing. RDP also has a bunch of other stuff to support things |
| 15 |
like audio, printer, filesystem, and serial/prallel port redirection |
| 16 |
that I don't think VNC ever had. But the display/mouse/keyboard part |
| 17 |
of it works pretty much the same. |
