Well lets say it can play sc2 well via this remote desktop magic. Then isn't there the great possibility of making older computers be able to run SC2?! | ||

No. Remote desktop just means it's streaming interactive video of what's happening on your PC. Your PC is running SC2, the iPad just shows you what the PC display shows. | ||

I understand now ^^ Then couldn't they do this for Windows PC netbooks? Giving other PCs the ability to stream your own gaming desktop and control it via another low grade computer? Wow the possibilities are endless... Great product btw! | ||

There are already programs that let you do this between 2 PCs, mostly so you can control your work PC from home, or use your laptop to control a desktop. The only issue for gaming is that because you have to go from Laptop->PC->Battle.net->PC->Laptop there is a bit of extra latency. You also need a pretty stable internet or wifi connection. | ||

https://secure.logmein.com/US/products/free/ They also have an iPhone/iPad app, but I'm not sure if their interface supports the types of inputs required to play games. https://secure.logmein.com/US/welcome/iphone/?wt.ac=1-1 | ||

In the future, when wifi/internet gets faster and more stable it could become a more popular thing to do. | ||

 But I have no interest to actually try and play it, as it would be far too troublesome and I may as well just play on the nearby computer. | ||
