I'm wondering just how long this is going to remain in beta. Yes, it works, but the recent gap between previous beta expiry and new beta has made me re-think my usage of this app. I'm Mac-based, but admin a mixed Mac/Windows network (including Windows servers), so NEED RDC on a daily basis.

The recent beta expiry encouraged me to expunge all traces of MS RDC from my system and switch to CoRD, which is just as reliable, just as fast and has a better GUI - especially if you need to connect to large numbers of machines.

Unlike a lot of Mac folks, I'm not anti-Microsoft - I use and like a wide range of their products, but I think they've dropped the ball with RDC - it's taking an unfeasibly long time to update such a relatively minor application.
