Everybody knows by now about the Windows Vista Aero Glass user interface, but what everybody does not know is that you can use this over a Remote Desktop connection if you’ve got the right settings enabled on the client and the server.

• The system you are running Remote Desktop client on must already have Aero enabled.
• The remote system must have at least 512mb of RAM, and be an Enterprise or Ultimate version of Vista.
