Hints appeared last week that Microsoft may be close to offering multi-session remote desktop access to Windows 10 Enterprise as an alternative to, and complement of, Windows Server.
The appearance of "Windows 10 Enterprise for Remote Sessions" as an installation option was noticed by Tero Alhonen, of Svenska Handelsbanken AB, who tweeted screenshots Aug. 1. The find was first reported by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley two days later.
The new SKU (stock-selling unit) installation option was found in a recent Insider preview for the next Windows 10 feature upgrade, dubbed 1809 in Microsoft's usual yymm nomenclature. Alhonen discovered the option on the disk image (.iso file format) of build 17713.
Currently, Windows 10 Enterprise (as well as Windows 10 Pro) allow only one remote session connection. The new SKU will handle as many as 10 simultaneous connections.
At this point, multi-session Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is a Windows Server-only feature, one that lets users run applications hosted on servers, whether the servers are on-premises or cloud-based. But the evidence uncovered by Alhonen hints that Microsoft will expand a form of RDS to Windows 10.
"There's a ton of unanswered questions," said Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft, noting Microsoft silence on such a move. He expected that some answers will be revealed at Microsoft Ignite, the company's massive conference for IT professionals that's set for Sept. 24-28, or with the release of Windows 10 1809 this fall.

Feature of YouTube

Features Video technology YouTube primarily uses the  VP9  and  H.264/MPEG-4 AVC  video formats, and the  Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP  protocol. [ citation needed ] Playback Previously, viewing YouTube videos on a personal computer required the  Adobe Flash Player  plug-in to be installed in the browser. [69]  In January 2010, YouTube launched an experimental version of the site that used the built-in multimedia capabilities of web browsers supporting the  HTML5  standard. [70]  This allowed videos to be viewed without requiring Adobe Flash Player or any other plug-in to be installed. [71] [72]  The YouTube site had a page that allowed supported browsers to opt into the HTML5 trial. Only browsers that supported HTML5 Video using the  MP4  (with  H.264  video) or  WebM  (with  VP8  video) formats could play the videos, and not all videos on the site were available...
