postheadericon Review: Switch lets you shut down any Windows computer remotely, even using Twitter

8:07 AM | Posted by ProJ | | Edit Post

You know what's frustrating? When something is supposed to be complicated, it is very simple to the point of impossibility. For example, remotely shut down a Windows computer: This is not rocket science. In fact, it is something that is built into Windows, and Microsoft even offers a free additional tool to make it easier. However, the more I tried, I could not get one of these tools. I spent hours browsing the forums and firewall settings tweaking, user accounts, group policies, and all I could think OFA???? And I could not turn my computer remotely. That is, until I installed the utility Switch $ 9.

has a nice and simple web interface to turn off the remote computer.

Switch

was a breath of fresh air. Finally, something simple that does exactly what it is supposed to do. With switch installed, I could close my file server from any computer on my local network without installing any client software. All I had was a standard web browser, so I just point to the IP address of the file server. Switch appears as a nice website with a stop button. Click the button and the computer will switch running bye-bye. It's as simple as that.
