Freezes 10.6.2 - Version: 2.0.1, 11/17/2009 06:18AM PST

Frequently and completely freezes the system, requiring a button-hold shut down (a Force Quit does not work). I suppose it could be related to the hosted connection, but even so, it needs to "let go". I use no other software that causes such a total system freeze. This condition occurs when the hosted connection is not used for about 10 minutes and has probably sent a disconnect command. Nevertheless, this is such a common condition for remote hosting that RDC needs to recover without freezing the OS.

When I copy a file from Windows to the Mac's shared drive, the file name has been converted to all lower case. I think it is a bug. Anybody has the same problem?

Frequently causes Windows XP to crash - Version: 2.0.1, 8/11/2009 02:28PM PST

I've used RDC version 1.0.x from a PPC Mac with no issue. However, this version doesn't run well from an Intel Mac. With the update to version 2.0.0, I found it ran well from an Intel Mac, but from either a PPC or Intel Mac, frequently causes a computer running XP to crash when attempting to login (about once out of every three or four connections). The same issue exists for version 2.0.1. The solution I've found that works best is CoRD (works well on both PPC and Intel Macs and doesn't cause XP to crash).
