    I have just started a contract and have to work with a remote computer as my development environment. Was wondering if there was a good option to the Microsoft Remote Desktop. The Microsoft software does provide multi-monitor support but it appears it is all or nothing. Is there something better? Update: I am not looking to replace the software on the remote computer, so needs to support RDP. I just want a client solution that works with RDP on the server. Therefore products like TeamViewer are useless.

          1. Chrome Remote Desktop - A google product. I would say Good. 2. Splashtop - http://www.splashtop.com/[^] I haven't use this. As per my experience, Microsoft remote desktop is the best.

            Teamviewer rules. Vpn,file transfers, remote desktop, chat, voip, multiple attendants... It's free for home use. It works through firewalls. You can keep a list of your clients. You pay once, clients are free. Really useful!

              Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

                As far as a client goes I use mRemoteNG. I have lots of RDP sessions open in different tabs. Here[^] is a link.

                Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than master of one.
