Microsoft have released a beta of the new Remote Desktop connection client for mac. It’s a universal binary which should make a difference for anyone accessing a pc over RDP. Other benefits of the new version include support for RPD 6.0 and dynamic screen resizing. Another bonus is multiple sessions at once. Download it from microsoft.com.
Got a spare mac battery? I’ve often wondered why up until now no-one’s produced a standalone charger so that you can charge batteries without having to plug them into the mac. Fortunately Fastmac.com have produced a standalone charger that allows you to do just that. and it’s compatible with iBooks, Powerbooks, macbooks and Macbook Pros. It’s also 110/200v. Exactly what I was looking for!

Interesting that you mention this, Stuart. I was also quite glad to see they’d released an update but after using it a few times I have to say I’ve been having a few problems.
First issue was that it didn’t seem to remember any of my settings from the old version, which is more an annoyance than anything, but would it have been so hard to migrate settings?
Second and more important is that my Internet Explorer seems to crash repeatedly whenever I’m in an RDC, but if I log into the machine itself and do the same actions, it works fine. It’s a relatively old box that I’m logging into, but I’ve never had problems like this before.
Might just be me but I’d be interested to hear about other people’s experiences.
