Choosing between Thinfinity VirtualUI and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) depends entirely on whether you want to web-enable a single specific application or provide full remote desktop environments to your users.
While both solutions deliver remote access via Windows servers to HTML5 browsers, they achieve this through fundamentally different architectures. Core Structural Difference
The primary difference lies in the level of virtualization and who manages the system architecture:
Thinfinity VirtualUI: An Application-Level Virtualization SDK. Developers add a single line of code to a standard Windows desktop application (like Delphi, C#, or C++) to instantly turn its graphical user interface (GUI) into a web app accessible via any modern browser. It stream-maps drawing commands directly to an HTML5 canvas.
Microsoft RDS: A Session-Level/Desktop Virtualization Platform. It clones and provisions standard Windows desktop environments or hosted individual server apps (RemoteApps) across multiple users. It runs full user server profiles to stream the entire desktop experience over the network. Side-by-Side Comparison Compare VirtualUI and Thinfinity Remote Desktop
