Remote Desktop Control 2.0 is out of Beta!
For those of you who use both Mac's and PC's, you have probably at some
time used RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) to access your PC. If you are
not familiar with RDC, it is very similar to ARD, Apple Remote Desktop,
or VNC, Virtual Network Connector. All of these applications open up a
window that allows you to work directly on your computer as if you were
sitting right in front of it. This is just like the screen sharing
feature new to Apple 10.5's iChat client.
For the past year, Microsoft has had version 2 of the RDC client in
beta. Earlier this year there was an interruption in the beta program
in which the beta version timed out and stopped working. Several weeks
later, an updated beta was released so people could continue to use
access their Windows machines.
The long wait is over! On July 1st, 2008, Microsoft released version
2.0 of the RDC client on their MacBU (Business Unit) site. To download
the RDC 2.0 installer go to the Mactopia downloads page at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
You may want to bookmark that page too for other future updates from Microsoft.
