The most popular remote desktop tool on Windows

Share
Microsoft provides the client software Remote Desktop Connection (formerly called Terminal Services Client), available for most 32-bit versions of their Windows operating systems and Apple's Mac OS X, that allows a user to connect to a server running Terminal Services. Third-party developers have created client software for other platforms, including the open source rdesktop client for common Unix platforms. Both Terminal Services and Remote Desktop Protocol use TCP port 3389 by default, which is editable in the Windows registry.

    It's a simple remote desktop application...
    The best in it's kind, when you have to remotely maintain windows servers.

    I use it a lot.

    Remote Desktop is easy to use, and that is its main focus. Personally, I would like to see more features, like a file transfer manager, but—it just works.

    It isn't the most feature filled program out there. It's free, and the performance on top of other similar programs.

    I personally find that the features of the RDP protocol far outstrip those of it's competitors (such as VNC), including massive performance gains.

    Open source alternatives like VNC are better, but it's OK. It doesn't need any additional installation or configuration after clear Windows installation.
