    You left out an important detail….what’s it cost us?

  • Lox

    Lol, they should have called it “Windows Monitor”. In a world where most servers are linux servers, these guys do not support them ?!?
    Useless app.

    The companion application that needs to be installed on a pc triggers Norton Internet Security 2011 and it’s removed. I wouldn’t trust this android app on my phone for any reason

  • Dave Gold

    Yeah. Thanks for omitting that little piece of info “Oh, by the way – this’ll set you back $5.50″

    Most servers are not unix/linux, most web servers, maybe. The most favorable reports show linux as being almost equal to windows, more widely regarded:

    “In Q1 2010, Windows Server was installed on 75.3 percent of the servers sold worldwide. Linux was on 20.8 percent of the servers and Unix on only 3.6 percent. Both Windows Server and Linux grew in share from Q4 2009 to Q1 2010; Unix declined slightly. – ITC”

    I think a program like Logmein is better suited to my needs. I’d like to log in to my PC and use the GUI. Yet, I refuse to pay for this technology when they provide it free on windows platforms…

    I don’t use Norton Internet Security. I guess there’s a good reason not to.

    wrong- most large businesses use a great deal of Windows servers. I know from experience
