Perhaps the biggest advantage of NetMeeting however was that it was part of the operating system and thus could be used without any up-front planning, a huge convenience when things cropped up unexpectedly. If I needed to logoff that user on the controllee machine, then I lost the NetMeeting connection, which was a pain to re-establish: NetMeeting was the polar opposite of transparent. But, one of the drawbacks of NetMeeting was that it was tied to a Windows user. If I need to logon as an Administrator, I can do so without interrupting the GoToMyPC session.īack when Windows XP was the dominant version of Windows, I was a big fan of NetMeeting for remote access.
This is handy for me, because people I work with often use their computers while logged on as a limited/restricted user. That is, GoToMyPC can remotely connect and drive the controllee machine even if its at the screen displaying the available Windows users (below). One nice feature of GoToMyPC (and some other products too) is that a user does not even have to be logged on at the controllee machine.
In my case the controllee computer was running Windows XP.
