i really don't understand this.if i read this correctly, I can start a game on my crappy computer, and use it in ultra high quality on another crappy computer???
Now if only I could do the same, except not from within my houseplaying maxed out games on a $600 laptop at school
if you're already in the same house with the good computer why not just use that computer
Amazing.Also, this does way more than streaming steam games. Example: start streaming the steam game with the lowest resource usage you have, then press alt+tab on the windows computer. Suddenly, full blown remote desktop!
