Application Sharing between XP and Vista

R

The nice feature of Windows Messenger on XP is that you can 'share' an
application with another user. In other words, show them your desktop like a
presentaiton or a web site maybe.

However, Windows Messenger doesn't work on Vista and Live Messenger doesn't
seem to have this feature installed.

Can anyone suggets a way of sharing an application between XP and Vista
users without having to buy and install MOC server?

Or for that matter between two Vista users?

Thanks

Hi,

The replacement for the Application Sharing feature is Office SharedView, which is completely
free and requires no server.

You can find it here:
http://www.sharedview.com

Although there is no direct Messenger integration, you can send the invitation link via
Messenger just by copy/pasting.

Greetings W,

That is correct as the old application sharing feature does not exist on Vista and SharedView
doesn't exist on XP or Vista by default. So you have to install it on both.
