#2Oh cool! Now you can embed an RDP session into a webpage. Finally, a way to use the primary system administration tool from almost anywhere!
With this, you can hand out links to pages with your server RDP already configured - just send the link to the admin and let them administer.
How well does this work with dynamic username/password? If we wanted to leave those fields blank, and maybe have the webpage prompt on open?
Something missing is RDPClip.exe, which synchronizes the copy/paste clipboard data between your local session and any remote sessions. Though I'm not sure how that would work in some cases.

Agreed - this is awesome! Also, if you didn't catch it, there appears to be a full web example using this library (as well as websockets) here: https://github.com/citronneur/mstsc.js

#5Very nice work, but Microsoft did a pretty good job with their RDP clients, and making them for OS X and of course Windows. I'm not sure what the draw is for a web-based RDP client.

We have this already with VNC. Ramnode has a HTML5 VNC client in their CP.
