Re: MVPs and Terminal Services

Do you really want a response to this because I'm sure I could come with a
doozy considering the amount of help that is given out for free by everyone
here (not just MVP's).

Ok, this is officially a rant.

Every time a TS MVP answers a question it is heavily tinted with the
apparent view that TS is only used by organizations with large IT budgets
to provide very limited access to very small and specific application set
in a very constrainted environment. Now granted this may be the typical
use of TS, but it is not the only use. There are some of us trying to use
TS as a general purpose desktop-replacement computing environment.
Consequently the answers we get to our questions are frequently not
answers at all, but rather just responses that are dismissive about what
we are trying to accomplish. I'll go as far as to say I often find them
condescending and occasionally even insulting.

So please, if you think that what someone is trying to do with TS doesn't
make sense ask what they are trying to accomplish and why it is important
before suggesting they do something other than solve their problem.
