Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for enabling an unlimited multi-user desktop environment. In accordance with an embodiment, the system includes a computing device hosting the desktop. Each user connects to the desktop through the same or different computing devices. Each user will, in their client-area, render a section of the unlimited sized multi-user desktop. The section can be the same or different for all users. In accordance with an embodiment, compatible objects can be allowed to render the same content at different content positions for each connected user. For example, a user can scroll on a shared webpage without impacting the scroll position for other users looking at the same window of the same webpage. Additional embodiments are also described herein.
