In response to my previous post I have had an email from one friend and saw a blog post from another asking this question. In fact, I use remote desktop all the time. I use it when I travel (which is a lot) and I use it when I telecommute from my kitchen to my office (which is just on another floor of my house) and I use it to work on some of my client's computers. I have even used it between the two computers that I have sharing the monitor when I wantd to copy and paste. But for some reason, I never thought of it for this purpose. Maybe because I'm not remote?
The second machine started out as a test box for Whidbey and I quickly moved to using VPC with that machine keeping a freshly installed Windows XP image that I could copy and install new bits on as they were released. But now I actually am using that for all of my VS2005 development and don't have plans to repave it. I still have VB6 and VS2003 apps that I am maintaining and the first machine has that and the rest of my life on it.
I'm not going to think about it too hard because I will soon be kicking myself for going to all the trouble when I could have just opened up the 2nd machine in a Remote Desktop window on monitor two. Too bad nobody asked me this question last time I wrote about my KVM. ;-)
