Now if there was a native RDP for UNIX, I'd be jumping up and down.
There is actually an RDP for UNIX but not natively MS:

The lack of response may be a reflection of a low seat count for Mac.
However, the number of seats is not the issue- the fact is that a major
barrier to using TS only has been toppled. One of the strengths of Citrix
has been that it uniquely addressed non-Windows platforms.
Your suggestion about MS software is very interesting. Isn't it the case
that the RDP client they released for OSX would allow a desktop connection
to XP professional? Perhaps they will start to tell Mac users "Go buy a PC,
put XP on it- we have free software so you display it on your Mac"
Let's keep our eye on this....!

Yeah, I sent this link out early yesterday and there was little response. I
was quite suprised.
See //www.freelists.org/archives/thin/07-2002/msg00887.html in the
archives.
I can only assume that this is because there is a huge lack of interest in
OSX or people missed the whole impact of what was really happening. I've
got to believe that this did not go over too well with Citrix. I posted it
to the CitrixSe list also and the post was immediately followed not by
coincidence by a Citrix SE posting a tech tip with a link to Mystery
Machine..an OSX client for Citrix. http://www.the-fallen.net/citrix-x/
I read an article that Microsoft has not sold its OSX versions of Software
as expected so I'm betting there is more to this than meets the eye.

Microsoft released a native RDP client for OSX:

Any thoughts on this?
