Heres the deal.

Its not even a third as cool as metaframe.  It doesn't even open you as a
"user" on the remote box.  What i see is something that can run apps
remotely but make it seem like its running on the client.  So i can run
word, but it prints and saves and stuff locally.

Winframe is totally different.  It lets you login as an NT user and use a
remote desktop and all, just like you would if you logged into an NT box.
All interactions with files and printers are relative to the server.
