Microsoft Releases Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.0 (Beta 2)

Tagged:

Not sure how I missed this, but Microsoft released their Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.0 (Beta 2) on October 30th. While there were definitely improvements in the first beta (and being Universals is always A Good Thing), this release adds:

  • Multiple Sessions – Improvements to File menu commands and connection files let you connect to multiple Windows-based computers at the same time.
  • Network Level Authentication (NLA) Support – Helps provide greater security when connecting to computers running Windows Vista.
  • Auto Reconnect – Supports automatic reconnection when a network connection to a remote session is lost (this one is especially nice for me since I wind up using 3G connections more oft than not these days)
  • Wide Screen Support – Supports optimal resolution settings for wide screen displays.
