Mac RDC 2.0 Beta

I found it on their webpage. There is some marked improvement, but they still don't get it right.

The main problem is that I can connect to multiple servers, but each one is its own program (alt-tab instead of alt-`). Also, Apple-w doesn't close the window (I suppose that's because it is not really in a window..).

Do the people that write this software even use Macs?

I don't think Microsoft likes Apple

Case in point: the remote desktop client that Microsoft offers. It's brutal. You can only open one session at a time. I've heard there are ways to do multiple sessions, but it's not Apple-N. I'm guessing an intern at Microsoft built it without following any Apple guidelines.

I did find this blog post. There were lots of great comments with suggestions. I tried RDC Menu, and it didn't really work for me.

I did try CoRD, and so far, it's awesome. I'm done looking for a client now :)
