XP/VS Server is a cost effective multi-user Remote Desktop access solution for Windows using the standard Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
I very much need two monitors running the same RDP session to do my job. This is a company laptop and company remote desktop. Host laptop is Windows 10 Enterprise. Remote desktop is Windows 7 Professional. I have three monitors - 1 laptop and 2 extended monitors. Remote Desktop Connection is set to accept all monitors. The issue with multiple Remote Desktop Sessions on Windows 10 and 8 Attempting to initiate a second Remote Desktop session will cause any users working locally on the machine or logged in through an existing RDP session to be kicked out. The issue is not a result of the technical capabilities of Windows 10 but rather with the license agreement.
Installing XP/VS Server allows an unlimited number of users to remotely access all their Windows Desktops and Applications simultaneously.
Because compatible Remote Desktop Connection client software is already preinstalled on most devices and operating systems, seamless integration into existing networks without any hardware or software changes is assured.
XP/VS Server is suitable for small and medium enterprises and offers premium support services.

Deployment of Thinstuff´s XP/VS Terminal Server enables cost savings in licensing, hardware, service and support:
- A big cost saving potential in licensing because XP/VS Server is very cost effective compared to most other Server Based Computing (SBC) solutions and even more cost effective compared with traditional client/server installations
- A big cost saving potential on hardware because you can use cost effective Thin Clients instead of full Windows PCs on the client side
- A big cost saving potential in service and support because you can centralise application and user management on the server side instead of maintaining many individual client PCs
