Merge proposal[edit]
Remote computer is a long-standing stub, best managed by merging to this better-developed page discussing a closely-related concept. Klbrain (talk) 21:51, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
- @Klbrain: I think a better merge and redirect target is Remote desktop software#Uses. The remote computer article as written refers more to the idea of an IT support person or network administrator accessing a computer remotely, using remote desktop software, for support purposes. He or she is very much aware that the info they are working with is not local. It is a very simple transaction - the administrator sends keystrokes one way, and the video is sent the other way. Desktop virtualization is a more complex end user tool to locally access information that sits on a remote virtualized server, but appearing to be local from the perspective of the end user. Another way of looking at it - with virtualization, the remote server can host multiple simultaneous users, whereas with simpler remote desktop software, only one user can usefully access the remote computer at a time.

- That does indeed sound like a better idea; I've tagged Remote desktop software#Uses just in case there are any comments/interest from people watching that page. Klbrain (talk) 07:28, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support merging with remote computer into remote desktop software#Uses. fgnievinski (talk) 02:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Providers Proposal[edit]
Adding a list of providers would help expand the page. I can add a Providers section similar to the one on the thin client page if nobody has any concerns or opinions. Fairwin99 (talk) 13:24, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
