So am I right in understanding that Office SharedView will run on XP and
must be installed on the XP machine if I want to application share
between my Vista machine and remote XP machine?

I've just installed SharedView on my Vista machine, but I'm not sure
how it will communicate with remote XP machine.

The old XP Messenger way was much better as it was easy to get someone
on the other end to do it. Now I will have to ask them to install
SharedView before we can share. Perhaps there are many other advantages
that will outway the inconvenience of having to install a program. I
hope so, can't wait to try it out.

W.

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.
