Can't wait to deploy the final version. :cool:

Why is it a .pkg though?

Interesting - I wonder why it needs an installer?

Thanks for the CoRD link, B. I've just started connecting to my work machine via VPN, and haven't yet done it from my Powerbook. I downloaded the older Windows RDC for Mac this weekend, but I'll probably give the beta a try as well. I'll report back with my impressions if someone more knowledgeable doesn't beat me to it.

I've been using CoRD. But I think I'll give RDC a try. CoRD doesn't have the feature of file transfer.

A quick check shows that it's a small download, a quick install, and it works as easily as version 1 did. So far so good.
