[GRLUG] Sligtly OT, .. VNC

[Thomas Wodarek]

I like ChromeRemoteDesktop as well, but it does pose a few problems:

   - It's pared directly with a Google Account.  Not bad if you're using it
   for personal stuff, but annoying to work around in a business setting
   - I think UAC prompts aren't caught by the listening server
   - At least for linux hosts, it spins up a separate virtual desktop for
   your use.  Nice to connect and disconnect for always-remote use, but
   annoying if you want to view the desktop you had locally on the machine.

It still works really well, just a few annoying parts to work around.
