Ah, this probably is the whole point of this discussion: Having a choice.

I think Reactos will give us at least:

 - command line (as stated earlier in this thread, Reactos will probably have some
    useful console as opposed to Windows)

 - Remote desktop (For sure somebody will port VNC to ReactOS)



So what about "Forwarding of single applications?"

This is one feature I used intensiveley on Unix. I often had applications from three or four hosts open. (Backup software from the
machine with the tape drive, Editor on the machine with the files - because "remote editor" is faster than "local editor with remote
files", one shell on the machine I was compiling for, etc.)

I wonder whether such a thing could be built into Reactos. Even if it turns out to be hackish and sluggish, something like that
would be incredibly useful. However, the techical difficulties for such a hack are probably extremly huge.
