I second this. The protocol is incredibly fast, even over a cellular connection when zipping down the rail line on Amtrak. On a LAN I can use VMware PCoIP on an Apple Cinema Display and there is zero lag (hard to test the Cinema Display on Amtrak!). I don't know what black magic they use under the hood, but it's the only remote protocol I've ever used that didn't make me want to throw my computer out the window.


Sounds interesting, i wonder if something like this will replace home computing in the future. How is the performance when watching videos or playing some casual game, does that still work ?


I haven't done any gaming with it, but web video played in the browser works the same as locally. I haven't tried any full screen stuff like movies though. For regular application usage there is no perceptible lag for things like scrolling, editing, highlighting, etc...
