Let me add to this

I am often in other parts of the world and have slower internet access. I used Citrix gotomypc to access a high powered laptop at my friends place to take advantage or North Americand Download speeds and do work from there. It works quite well , however my friend is not a 24 hour support centre and from time to time I need a reboot or perhaps a software install that I can't do on my own for remote reasons. He has to work, go on vacation and such which means I got to wait.

1. I am hoping to find a host that I can colocate a high end laptop, use their internet access and work from that machine from time to time. Laptop is better for me as this is more of a workstation and not a server.. I prefer to run it off the laptop.

2. I am open to installing Windows 7 Pro on a server, but have learned from experience that servers are built to be used as servers and desktops are built to be run on desktops So you dont always have the flexibility for things such as Video Cards for instance. However I am flexible on this if need be.

I prefer the laptop and it would not have to be open, it would just sit there closed and from time to time I would need a reboot, a software install, basic stuff.. I have had my present laptop at my buddy place and only have bugged him maybe 10 times all year, but like i said rather have a new laptop at a hosting centre for the support and the good download and upload speeds

As for RDP it doenst cut it for a working remote program, its too slow. I have tried them all from RDP to Pcanywhere , vnc, and a handful of others. gotomypc from citrix works very well, encrypted nicely , good support adn gives me the features i need, though it isnt free like some of the options out there
