Software Update: RealVNC 4.1.1

The developers have recently released a new version of RealVNC, this time with the version number 4.1.1 with a number of important improvements. The program can be used to remotely control another computer. This can happen cross-platform, for example from Windows to Linux and vice versa. You take over the desktop of the other computer so that it looks like you are physically behind it. The release notes look like this:
