If you have a copy of Office for Mac that has RDC in it. Surely that has to work right?

thanks all.

One other question - whats the best VM software?

I use VMWare fusion on my macbook, works a treat. I've never tried parallels though so I can't comment on that.

I prefer VirtualBox for running Linux guests. It's free too.

Parallels has better performance and more functionality than VMWare or VirtualBox (I've used the latest versions of all recently).

I use VMware Fusion.

I got VMware Fusion working last night. There is the functionality to share folders. I have selected to share a folder, how do I now access that folder from within the VM?
