I love me some remote desktop

[Noticeably FAT]

I was checking in on something else at home from work just a few minutes ago, and I notice that .20 is out. So, it's now downloading and will be waiting for me when I roll in later. Woo hoo!

How does this remote desktop work?

You can connect to your computer from another computer, and perform various actions. In Windows, it usually just shows you a streamed video of the desktop, and you can click/write in it to use it. For Linux, you usually get a command line with the option of a streamed desktop image. I've no idea what OSX does, but I expect it to be just like Windows.

That's pretty much it. I'm using TightVNC, the server runs at home and I have viewers on my work machine, phone and tablet. At work I just run the viewer, enter my login info and I have a window that looks like my laptop screen.

The remote machine must have windows professional on as other editions won't allow you to connect to it. Doesn't matter what version of Windows is on the client machine your connecting from as all versions allow remote desktop. Other than that fact it's as everyone else has said.

Not at all, that's just for Microsoft's remote desktop feature. Third party remote desktop systems work on any version.

Does anyone happen to know a trick to get right-click dragging to work in KSP when RDC'ing in from another box?? I have KSP running on my desktop at home, and I like to occasionally check in on a craft while it's on a particularly long burn or whatever, so I'll RDC to it from my PC at work, but unfortunately, I can't really do much in the way of making adjustments or actually playing the game, as I can right click on things, but can't right-click drag around to pan the camera, causing obvious difficulties.

If anyone has any ideas, much thanks in advance.

Game playing isn't really a remote desktop thing. A few companies make stuff that does work quite well though, like LogMeIn and GoToMyPC.
