Re: Remote Desktop vs. Remote Desktop Web

I am wondering what the difference really is between the two? Both
require port forwarding of port 3389. So why would I use Remote
Desktop Web Access instead of just using the regular Remote Desktop
client? If, for instance, a remote location (hospital, hotel room,
etc...) had port 3389 blocked for some reason, neither would work
as they both require this port - if they didn't have it blocked,
regular Remote Desktop should work so why would I use the web
client?

Remote Desktop Web Connection loads the Remote Desktop client within a
browser. The Remote Desktop Web Connection is a perfect solution for
connecting to your home or office PC when you can't install the Remote
Desktop client software on a computer.

(Ever tried to connect to your computer without the client on a Windows 9x
machine?)
