Our field engineers will need a keyboard and mouse for their work,
which made me wonder:
Field engineers always carry a laptop, but not normally a separate
keyboard and mouse. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some way to
control XPe from the keyboard and mouse on the laptop (two fewer
things for engineers to carry around). Clearly special software and
a special XPe driver would be required; the laptop would be connected
by a single USB port (I suppose this would be easier to implement
with two USB connections).
What about just using remote desktop or VNC via a network connection?
Connecting two computers via USB requires a special cable and USB
networking software. It would probably be easier to use a network cable.
