CNET'S QUICK GUIDE: Windows Vista Business Edition


Remote Access

If you travel as part of your job and need access to applications and data back in the office, Windows Vista Business Edition provides built-in dependable remote access. When teamed with the forthcoming new version of the Windows server (code-named Longhorn), Windows Vista Business Edition simplifies remote access without requiring a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Whether you are a mobile user working from the road or a remote user working on a home computer, Windows Vista makes it quick and easy for you to access your corporate network.

The Remote Desktop Connection feature in Windows Vista Business Edition enables easier remote access to any resource or application. For example, a salesperson who requires remote access to a financial or customer relationship management (CRM) application might see an icon for that application on his or her Windows Vista desktop. Click the icon, and an automatic Terminal Services Remote Program connection will be established over the Internet and to the Terminal Server in Windows Server Longhorn, with no need for a VPN. Organizations can preconfigure personal computers to provide direct access to applications and data remotely. Home PC users will also benefit from the same Terminal Services gateway in Windows Server Longhorn.
