Remix Mini: as a Thin Client

@dafyre I believe there is something going on with RDSH in 2016 that is still better than WIndows 10, Remote FX aside.
I am not real excited about anything else Microsoft related. I was going to trial Citrix but I am not sure it could really get any better in regards to performance.

The changes made in Server 2016 are going to be a HUGE boost to apps that aren't DirectX. The new OpenGL compatibility stuff rocks.

@dafyre Yeah I seem to recall OpenGL and GPU Virtualization. Are you servicing your locations with remote desktop?

We're just doing Remote Apps via RDS right now. Seems like our full-on VDI project is going VMware.

Also, I got my Ultratablet, and performance is alright. My Windows 7 VDI (test environment at work!) works pretty good with it.
Performance from my house is usable for basic things. I couldn't even stream Simon's cat on youtube from my Ultratablet. (Low powered GPU on Tablet or GPU not Supported by Microsoft Remote Desktop app, maybe?)
My Pixel XL does fine with it via ZT & Remote Desktop.

Do you get advs and shit like that when you do productivity work? and how do you combat that, with paid apps ? anything else ?

Back when YouTube was mainly Flash based, I never got it to work worth damn in Thin Clients, but if I used a full PC via Windows XP/7 it worked fine!
Windows 7 and 2008 R2 I believe was RDP 8.1 and that was when UDP and a better RDP client came into play. Ive seen some plugins for flash too.
So far I have had zero luck finding a non-windows thin client that supports even RDP 8.
RDP 10 is incredible. We loaded up Minecraft and you cant tell you are in a session.
I think that the official Microsoft RDP app for iOS use RDP 10.

I'm pretty sure, yes.

Advertising I am assuming
Who gets advertisements?
-
Yup ads, and the all the banners you get with android platform displaying marketing stuff.

I've not seen that. Native Android doesn't have anything like that.

Exactly! I don't see any ads, except in Apps that I'd expect them in... I see absolutely no ads in the MS RDP app.

Maybe he's talking about ads in the Remix Mini?

Maybe, haven't seen one.

@scottalanmiller A lot of apps though on Android come with Ads on them (Not the operating system).
