Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion to Support Remote Computing

We have discovered a brand new feature in the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, which be called multi-user remote computing, it allows you to remotely login to any account on another Mac. Now I will explain it through an example.



You are on you couch with your MacBook, but the file you need is on the home iMac, which someone also use it with their own account. With Snow Leopard, you would only be able to screen share onto that iMac and have access to the other user's screen, not your account with the presentation file. But now with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, when you login through the Finder, you are given an option to either view the screen of the other person's account or access your own account to grasp the file.

The best part is that the other person's account stays untouched and you are accessing your account all in the background, remotely. The other person using the iMac never even needs to know that you grabbed a file off the computer. They won't be interrupted at all and now now you have your file. If you have MobileMe this can even work completely remotely from anywhere in the world with the Back to my Mac service.

It truly seems like Apple is taking their strides at remote computing to the next level with Lion and it appears they are doing a great job thus far. These remote screen sharing enhancements in Lion seem to be truly beneficial to anyone with multiple Macs, and just makes the whole computing experience more efficient. Lets hope this all comes free this summer. This also reminds us of rumors about theApple iPhone 5 being remote computing on steroids.
