Chrome OS Reveals RDP Functionality, Calls it “Chromoting”

by Chromebook.co.uk on June 11, 2010

Following the recent announcement that Chrome OS will support printing by routing print jobs through Google servers and back down to your (now legacy?) desktop PC and on to your printer, details are now emerging that the Search Giant is developing a remote desktop plug-in called Chromoting (plug-in source code here).

From the Register:

In a message posted by a third party to a public mailing list dedicated to the as-yet-unreleased Chrome OS, Google software engineer Gary Kačmarčík confirms the existence of Chromoting but gives few details. “We’re adding new capabilities all the time,” the email reads. “With this functionality (unofficially named ‘chromoting’), Chrome OS will not only be [a] great platform for running modern web apps, but will also enable you to access legacy PC applications right within the browser.”

Sorry for the downtime, should be back up and running to full fury now!
