Remote Desktop 2 for OSX Released (BETA)

It has been a long time coming. Finally Microsoft has dusted off the old code for the Mac version of Remote Desktop. I have been suffering with version 1.0 for some time now - and it was severely lacking in features.

OSX Remote Desktop Beta


The new beta is quite stable and includes the following:


Universal Binary
Runs natively on both Intel-based and PowerPC-based Macs.

Remote Desktop Protocol 6.0
Provides better compatibility with Windows Vista, improved security features, and many other improvements.

Multiple Sessions (FINALLY!)
Lets you connect to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time.

Improved User Experience
Provides a true Mac experience and improved usability.

Improved Customization Options
Lets you change application preferences, including keyboard shortcuts, while you are running a session. Changes take effect the next time that you connect.

Dynamic Screen Resizing
Lets you resize your session window or switch to full-screen mode during a session.

Improved Printing Support
Supports all configured printers on your Mac. No longer limited to PostScript printers.

If you didn't know already I use Mac OSX all the time. All of my Windows work is done through virtualization (VMWare) and it works quite well for me. The last application that I really was having trouble with was Remote Desktop. I didn't think MS was ever going to update it.

If you are running Mac OSX, and would like to try it out, here is the beta link
