      OK. So how do I connect to a Windows desktop using non-Microsoft RDP?

        Let me put it another way - if I want to write and publish a client that will connect to a standard Windows desktop using RDP, do I need to obtain a patent licence from Microsoft (as they are saying I do) or don't I?

        No, you do not. There are laws that protect the usage of an API / protocol. Microsoft doesn't have to give you the details, but they can't stop you talking the language either.

        It would be the same as making a patent on English and demanding anyone who wants to speak it pay for a license to your tongue movements, even if they are just mimicking the sounds.

          It's a protocol. You just speak the language.

            OK. Cool. I still don't have a free Chromebook RDP client, mind.

              Its the same as VNC there is the standard open version. Then there are portierairy ones using extra features. Any vnc client should connect to it but, will not have the extra proritetarty features.

                  It doesn't have to be free. It has to be able to run full screen though.

                    Is lacking full screen what is wrong with this one?

                        Gotcha. Not sure if there is a full screen option. It doesn't do full screen even if you make the browser full screen?

                          The latest version doesn't run in the browser. Older versions did. That seems to be a complaint amongst a lot of long-term users.

                            Oh, it launches from the browser but runs on its own? Interesting. Didn't even know that it could do that.

                              Lovely. Chrome is becoming IE with ActiveX

                                I thought this was the way Chromebooks worked? More than just a browser these days.. don't ask me why I thought that though.

                                  There are a few chrome apps that do this. They appear like full screen apps even though they are just in a browser window.
