“Microsoft has a public Remote Desktop app available on the Mac that can be downloaded from the App Store, and the Redmond giant is now rolling out a beta client with a new user interface,” Harish Jonnalagadda reports for iMore.

Sorry Microsoft, CoRD beat you to this punch a long time ago.
CoRD is awesome, but it’s not being updated anymore.
I used to use Cord, however it does not work with the latest NTLM logon standards. I have since switched to Jump Desktop.
Still not happy.
It’s like working on a windows pc while wearing a condom. Your Mac is protected.
It’s buggy as hell. It doesn’t remember passwords. You can’t copy and paste. I use it because I develop web apps and need to test on Windows Edge (their Internet Exploder replacement). You can do it for free with their Azure cloud service. But this program kind of sucks. I hope they embrace OS X and fix it.
