Terminal ServicesTerminal Services is a component of the Microsoft server operating systems that allows a user to access applications or data stored on the server from a remote computer over a network connection. Based on the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Terminal Services was first introduced in Windows NT 4.0. The products Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 have introduced several improvements and new features. Microsoft provides the client software Remote Desktop Connection (formerly called Terminal Services Client), available for most 32-bit versions of their Windows operating systems and Apple's Mac OS X, that allows a user to connect to a server running Terminal Services. Third-party developers have created client software for other platforms, including the open source rdesktop client for common Unix platforms. Microsoft has a longstanding agreement with Citrix to facilitate sharing of technologies and patent licensing between Microsoft Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame. In this arrangement, Citrix has access to key source code for the Windows platform enabling their developers to improve the security and performance of the Terminal Services platform. In late December, 2004 the two companies announced a five-year renewal of this arrangement to cover the upcoming release of Windows Longhorn. Related Technologies External links
