RealVNC demos BIOS-based server at IDF 2011 (video)

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is among the of oldest remote desktop solutions around, and while its RFB (remote framebuffer) protocol can require a bit of more bandwidth than the contest, it’s long been praised for its broad cross-platform support and stylish simplicity. RealVNC recently teamed up with Intel to include a bona fide VNC server (using hardware encryption native to vPro chipsets) into the oldest little bit of PC firmware — the BIOS .
