For those Mac users out there Apple recently (Aug. 1) posted an updated version of the Remote Desktop Connection client. For those of you who might not be familiar with this tool, it allows you to remotely manage a windows system. The latest version from Microsoft has support for Vista. The previous version was a bit of a roaring pile of crap. The new one has smooth rendering and does not arbitrarily drop connections without warning as I found with the earlier version.
