- During the night, iTunes 7.3.2 was released for both Mac and Windows. As usual with Apple, details are rather limited and might simply reflect some changes required following the recent iPhone system or Security updates:
iTunes 7.3.2 provides bug fixes to improve stability and performance.
- Couple of days ago, Microsoft surprisingly released its Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac version 2.0 while the application did not evolve within the last 4 years.
This TSE client for Mac offers many improvements and features:
- Remote Desktop Protocol 6.0, to ensure compatibility with Vista
- Universal Binary
- Multiple Sessions
- Improved User Interface (style similar to current Mac applications)
- Dynamic Screen Resizing (as in Parallels)
- Improved Printing Support
- improved sharing management (possibility to share only a dedicated folder instead of an entire HD)
As a reminder, this application allows Mac users to connect to a Microsoft Terminal, WinXP or Vista PC and to work with local Windows programs and files on that computer from their Mac. Something similar to Timbuktu, except that many users can be logged on the same Terminal Server without problems.
The current version released by the MBU is still a beta, but for having tested it on a Mac Intel, it is really promising, the session is instantly opened and very reactive.
Many Mac users are still waiting for Apple to develop a similar application for its server offer, especially as Unix and X11 are designed from the root for allowing distant session...
