GRYFFIN  The interface is nice, but CoRD still offers much better performance. Just tried the two side by side, connecting to a Dell workstation running WinXP Pro on the same subnet. CoRD connected faster, and the frame rate seemed to be about double MS RDC's when dragging an object around the screen.

SGNX  still, connection drops upon keystroke when connecting to windows 7...  
(Version 2.0.1)

FRANKO  Works well with Vista (Ultimate) here.

According to MS' online doc: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974283

this is what's new in 2.01:

Improvements that are included in the update

This update improves security. It includes fixes for vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with malicious code.  
(Version 2.0.1)

PWIGBH  Works great with older MS software like XP.

Microsoft are you listening. Vista!!!!!!

It's you're latest software! It's does not work with it!!!!!

Can you hear me!!!! Lot's of clients!!!! Can't help them with VISTA!!!!

You created all this work the least you could do is make a client that could work with this piece of @#$%!

So glad I'm on a Mac!!!

VISKWAL  Typical of microsoft, international keyboards still don't work in the release version.

This has been reported over and over through the course of the beta.  
(Version 2.0)

N. SILVA  Very nice remote desktop client. In some ways it's superior to the Windows version. For example, with the Mac RDC client, you can connect to a server's console by adding "/CONSOLE" to the end of the computer name, something that requires editing a config file on the Windows side.

Some users may still prefer CoRD, however, because of the way that the Microsoft client handles saved connections. (The preferences dialog is used to change settings in a way that's hard to explain and often has me overwriting saved connections with the wrong settings.)

The other thing that could be improved is the Dock display. If you're connected to several servers, it's hard to tell which Dock icon represents which server. The server name is on the icon, but it's often too tiny to see.  
(Version 2.0)

MACINSPORE  Fast and stable. Local Hard Drive sharing seems to have a few glitches, but I don't really need this feature.

I am a long time user of Tight VNC with Chicken VNC or Jolly VNC as Mac clients. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection 2.0 is MUCH faster and has less screen artifacts in comparison.

Well done Microhoo!  
(Version 2.0)

FOLLEREC  I'm usually critical of Microsoft software, but this is not bad. Not bad at all. I wish it had a "bookmark" sidebar similar to CoRD instead of having to save .rdp files. Still, it's small, quick, and stable.  
(Version 2.0)

JOEL.SCHMIDT  It's called the "What's New" list  
(Version 2.0)

DONMONTALVO  Is there a change list?
