Microsoft Remote Desktop

Hi

Microsoft have finally upgraded their app for both ios and os x, there's a few new features within it, also the option to setup VPN within the app itself.

not had a full play to see what it does or how to break it yet, but will do when I'm back at work on monday. Hopefully it will does support terminal server remoteapp mode, but it does support web apps.

I like using cord when remoting into a set of machines at the same time, it 'nicer' to manage when its all in the same window.

I tend to use 2x on the ipad myself, as we have 2x terminal servers so its a 2 in 1 for me.

this is worst than the old one...

Keyboard mapping sucks and there's no way to setup a quick connection, you have to create a new connection and save the settings. This is fine if you only have a small number of machines that you have keep remoting into... but when your on a domain of 4000+ machines, it sucks.

The new mac client does support terminal services remoteapp...

This opens up a whole new world of possibilities.. I've got a good guess what my first few projects will be when I start my new job.
