DESCRIPTION
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection enables you to connect from your Macintosh computer to a Windows-based computer and work with programs and files on that computer. Mac users who have access to a Windows-based computer on a network, can use Remote Desktop Connection as an alternative to Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac.

To connect to a Windows-based computer, you need network access and permission to connect to the computer. In addition, the Windows-based computer must be running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Services. The following Windows products support Remote Desktop connections:

    * Windows XP Professional
    * Windows Server 2003
    * Windows 2000 Server
    * Windows 2000 Advanced Server
    * Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
    * Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

    * Multiple Sessions - 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.
    * Multiple Sessions (Improved in Beta 2) - Improvements to File menu commands and connection files let you connect to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time.
