1137597	2010-09-15 23:56:00	Seems like they are trying to "Value add", no doubt excluding AMD. Enterprise products like SCCM have a duel roll of app deployment, security management "and" allowing remote login etc. You can Wakeup on Lan a remote machine as long as the switches are configured to allow it. Logging onto another machine at home within your own network RDP is fine, cant see a advantage with Virtual Network Computing. seems like a gimmick to me, not feeling it You can turn a machine off on your own network with the shutdown console command if you have permissions.

1137600	2010-09-16 00:41:00	You do realise it can be turned off? It's just another chipset feature.	Erayd (23)
1137601	2010-09-16 00:52:00	Of course, and I'd turn it off. Not that it should make any difference, since I don't buy Intel products anyway.	Agent_24 (57)
1137602	2010-09-16 10:26:00	It looks like a great feature to me. Being able to turn on one's PC and access it remotely sounds potentially handy. I will make sure my next laptop has it and have a play :)	george12 (7)
1137603	2010-09-16 12:51:00	Great until some cracker figures out how to access your PC as well.. and not just Windows, but your ENTIRE system.	Agent_24 (57)
1137604	2010-09-16 19:48:00	It will become the next iHave feature probably :horrified	gary67 (56)
