At last, a REALLY decent RDP (Terminal Server) client for WM5!

In the Remote Desktop Access Bible, I've promised I would announce when the excellent folks over at H/PC Factor manage to port the excellent Terminal Server client from WindowsCE .NET to Windows Mobile. Fortunately, the porting attempts have been successful (albeit not at H/PC Factor but at XDA-Developers); see this thread for more information. Note that the port ONLY runs on WM5, NOT on previous operating systems. Make sure you check it out if you need a DECENT RDP client (instead of the, to put it mildly, far-from-perfect built-in Terminal Services Client) on your WM5 Windows Mobile device.

Yes, LogMeIn is pretty cool and highly recommended - for a subset of users. Other users (ones that MUST rely on RDP because of, say, company restrictions only allowing for RDP OR need to have access to the advanced features of the WinCE.NET features like sound transfer) need to stick to Terminal Server / Remote Desktop clients like that of Microsoft.

Also see the Remote Desktop Access Bible for more information on the comparison of the two (and all the other) remote desktop access solutions.
