We have 1 main pc in our house which holds all the data and applications.  A number of older laptops and desktops then use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the main pc.  The problem of course is that windows xp, vista and 7 have only allowed 1 user to be connected to a pc at once.  This sucks and in light of Linux competition should have been fixed by now.  To get this sort of functionality in windows you need to use a server edition.

However, this can be patched to allow as many people as you like to connect to different user account on the same PC at the same time… hence Concurrent RDP.

To achieve this download this file which will work with Windows 7 Professional.
