Cool Feature of Remote Desktop in Windows 7
Windows 7 has changed the game when it comes to remote desktop. Neowin.net blogged about the new features about a year ago. Click here to check out their post. I, too, was blown away by what’s now possible in Remote Desktop. Some of the new features include:
- Windows 7 Aero support
- Direct 2D & Direct 3D 10.1 application support
- True multi-monitor support
- RDP Core Performance Improvements
- Multimedia enhancements
- Media Foundation support
- DirectShow support
- Low Latency audio playback support
- Bi-directional audio support
I noticed one, seemingly insignificant, but very cool new feature that wasn’t mentioned at Neowin.net. Have you ever used Remote Dekstop to get into a network…and then used it again to get to another computer within that network? If so, you’ve probably noticed that the minimize bar at the top doubles over itself; making it next to impossible to minimize one remote machine without minimizing the other while in full-screen mode. Remote Desktop now lets you slide the bar at the top; making it much easier to minimize one session to get to another. Thanks Microsoft! It hasn’t gone unnoticed and it’s appreciated!
