The processing power your workers need for a great server-based computing experience, whether running general office applications or your specific line of business software on a terminal server. . . Advanced connectivity features include a wide range of ports and support for options including smart card readers, modems, and other common options." It does indicate support for Citrix and RDP but also says it is "compatible with XP Professional." Has HP misled me?
Compatible with XP Professional means it can connect over RDP to XP Professional as that was the only XP version that included Terminal Services.

You could also connect it to a Vista box or any other box that does RDP.

You'll actually LOVE this thing.

First, do these steps:

Then you'll be able to login to your Vista box with a completely separate session. In essence, your Vista box will be serving 2 people at the same time.
