windows on our palm???

[eric2002]

I've never heard of this, but found this website: http://www.win-hand.com/index.htm

I haven't downloaded this, curious if anyone knows about this program?? They claim you can run windows on your Palm.

Honestly, I am not sure if this is real... for some reason I have a bad feeling that this can be some kind of spyware or virus if I download it... maybe I am just paranoid!

what's the deal w/ this software??? is it real?

This was discussed pretty throughly in the ux forum not too long ago. Here is one link. If you do a search you will find a bunch of others

For those too lazy to click the link. WinHand isnt windows, it allows you to control a windows desktop remotely, though it seems that the latest version implements a trial scheme, so I am no longer recommending it.

I hope I'm not going over the edge by posting this as I didn't really want to read
anymore threads tonight but I don't want to forget this curiousity question. Why would you want to have remote control of your windows desktop from your palm?

[jjesusfreak01]

Because it can control your computer if you are halfway across the globe. You dont need to control your computer in your house, usually, but as I said, thats not its main purpose.

Well, I prefer VNC for this task. This protocol is opensource and everything, and both client and server can be downloaded for free!
Another advantage-with VNC, you can also control Unix and other kinds of boxen.
