Universal Remote Desktop Coming To Windows 10 Soon
jones_supa writes: For those using the Continuum feature of Windows and who work from home or in the office, you'll be pleased to know that the Remote Desktop Universal app is not only happening but will be released soon as a Technical Preview. This follows up on the Remote Desktop preview, which is already available for PC. The news came from Jason of the Microsoft Continuum team: "We've heard a lot of buzz around being able to connect to a remote desktop from Continuum for phone. We are excited to share that the Remote Desktop Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app will be released very soon in Technical Preview."
OK slashdot: you need to get a grip. You are losing readership rapidly. But some effort into it: in the summary, explain what the feature is, explain what Continuum. No, I don't want to visit 5 links to figure out what you are talking about. It should be in the summary. Do your job, or close up shop.
Like 20 years late to the game, but nice going, getting that simplest of features implemented.
Let's hope it's not a buggy 1.0 release.
So, having dismally crashed and burned in the phone marketplace, Microsoft now allows you to get to a Windows box *from* a phone?
This brings nothing to the table that Teamviewer doesn't already offer - unless they start offering support for the Raspberry Pi.
I have RDP on my windows phone 8.. what is different about this "Remote Desktop Universal"? Even TFA doesn't explain.
love is just extroverted narcissism
You'd like others to believe you. Have undeniable proof of your words? I don't see it. Don't speak in absolutes if you can't back it up. Who cares what you want? Nobody cares about your purely arbitrary opinion either! You're obviously from some inferior competing website trying to 'brainwash' everyone here. No dice troll. Your puny mindgames do not work. Accept it.

Or one more reason not to upgrade.
Lets me connect to my Macs and Windows machines, so easily.
Some NSA guy: "Look! What channel they are watching enters our database 38% faster this new way via our Windows Info Backdoor Distribution Ageement secret API than monitoring cable box feedback streams to the cable company! How neat!

Who in the right mind would install this government spyware? windows 10
And I really like it.
I think it would be absolutely fantastic to unify all of the operating systems into one. The UI being the only thing to change between different sized screens.
A full computer in my pocket that I can use as is, or use it with 4 large monitors, keyboard and mouse, or anything in between. One computer to do everything.
I think this is what Microsoft is ultimately driving toward and I think it is pretty awesome if they can pull it off.
My eyes reflect the stars and a smile lights up my face.
'Travel from your desktop to any NoMachine-enabled computer at the speed of light. NoMachine is the fastest remote desktop you have ever tried. In just a few clicks you can reach any computer in the world and start working on it as if it was right in front of you.'
I'm going to guess that it's:
Just make it easier for everyone to see everything.

Is this some kind of new 10' interface?
OK, so is this basically saying that if I have a Lumia 950 and the dock, I will soon be able to turn any screen that takes HDMI into my home computer, even when away from home? I mean, my experience with remove desktop in the past was quite laggy, but if this is correct, then I'm sold on a 950!
I am a Microsoft shop. I use Windows 10 on everything, I have the Surface Pro, I have the Windows Phone. Every day I RDP into my primary machine from work (while at work), from my phone (while bored at random places), and from the Surface (while at lunch). WTF is Continuum and WTF can I not already do that I am already doing?
No this place is being infested by trolls from inferior websites like the one you're posting about giving away your end game. You and yours are trying to ruin it here with your trolling and it''s not working. We're not stupid you know. We know your kind. You destroy yourselves in the end and accomplish nothing in life. What a waste of your time. Slashdot's strong as ever.

See subject: /.'s infested by trolls from inferior sites for trolling attempting to ruin it here and they're failing like you: We're not stupid you know - We know your kind.

I'm almost sure that editors of ./ have been replaced with a more effective, high-throughput fashion system which is able to handle large submission traffic with extreme efficiency.
Oh, and it scales very well too!
but i recommend to every business that i know to stay with windows 7 until we are able to turn off the spyware that could potentially leak IP that comes baked into windows 10.
Thankfully a few of them have asked about switching to a Linux server architecture. Microsoft can try and skew their adoption rates all they want with windows 10, but this combined with the constant shrill from us politicians about being able to "pierce" through encryption from software subscribers is about to make any linux skills very lucrative in the IT world.
At least as of win 8.1 there was a slightly less than 4k limit to RDP something like 3800X2000 is that still the case? I have a couple of 4k screens. Would be good if "extend to all monitors" would work past a fraction of one monitory ;)
When I was student (around 1992), I have worked remotely using vi and a text terminal (minitel) using 1200 bauds modem. I have also used export DISPLAY between locations separated by 500 km. It was far more usable than nowadays with ADSL. I think Microsoft has worked a lot to avoid that this kind of features arrives on Windows. I hope this will become mainstream quickly. But, damn! 25 years!
Continuum is (for those who don't know) that ability to run universal windows apps in a variety of different modes (phone, tablet and desktop). Its not that different to responsive websites.
It is one of the features that Microsoft is hoping distinguishes it's mobile OS from it's competitors. The new lumia phones can connect to a mouse, keyboard and screen, and offer a desktop-like experience thanks to the universal applications which can adapt to the desktop screen size and phone screen size alike. (responsive in most people's terminology)
The reason it's great news that remote desktop is becoming a universal app is that the phone version of remote desktop will be able to deliver a desktop experience when ran on a phone, but connected to an external display.
Why is this important? Because a few people (myself included) are looking to see whether a phone could replace carrying a laptop around from home to the office. Until more applications become universal, this can't happen, and even then a phone is underpowered compared to a laptop or desktop, so it will never be a replacement.... unless it's simply a terminal to connect to a VM running in the cloud? Well, if that is the case, then it possibly can suffice as a laptop replacement, hence the remote desktop client being a very valuable universal app to have.
Thank you for the clear and complete explanation of a feature/framework that I had never heard of and was unable to grasp even after reading the linked articles.
So, based on your explanation and re-reading the summary and articles...
This is a "soon to be released" universal app version of the Windows Remote Desktop client and it will be aware or leveraging Continuum. After all that. Meh. Might have an impact for users of Surface, but who uses Windows Phone?
This isn't about me, and don't try to make it that way. I'm not the one who spams or targets people and attacks/crapfloods them. You are.
You parrot back things other people have said to you or project your own actions and motivations onto others. Every time you're called out on something, you immediately start accusing others of doing what you got caught doing. When that doesn't work, you start playing the victim card.
This all likely started because somebody beat you when you were a kid, and just beat you harder when you tried to defend yourself. I feel badly for you on that account, but that's still no excuse for your behaviour.
You should really get out your mother's basement and into some counselling. Somewhere inside you there might even be a good person, but he'll never have the chance to come out if you don't get help.
You left out the APK Hail Mary: aspersions against your manhood by someone who's likely never felt the touch of a woman other than his mother--most likely only when she was wearing rubber gloves.
