Remote Desktop, mainly including the client and server, each Windows XP Computer simultaneously includes the client and server, that is, it can be used as a client to connect to other Windows XP computers, you can also take yourself as a server to allow other computers to control yourself. Windows XP is used on the server, and the client can be Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows Me, and there is no language restriction on the client.
