Microsoft already has the new version of its remote desktop application in the oven, which can still be downloaded in beta from clicking on this link. For now from the Mac App Store we can download the stable version but which is quite reminiscent of the aesthetics of the old office automation package from the Redmond company, I am actually talking about Office 2011, so it was time to update this application with an interface according to the new applications of Word, Excel, Outlook ...
This version also has new functionalities and features that include an improvement in the management of the user account and the ability to use native commands on Mac such as CMD + X, C, V to cut, copy and paste within a remote session .
This Remote Desktop beta client It can boast of some features that are assumed to be preserved in the final version, such as a fairly good audio streaming and video streaming, which perfectly adapts the bitrate to the capacity of the connection.
Even Microsoft itself mentions that it will continually add new features in this beta application, including support for multiple monitors, clipboard redirection, Remote Desktop gateway, and other remote resources (both RemoteApp and desktop connections).
In any case, as we always recommend, this application should not be used more than for testing tasks since it can still present different bugs so if you use it intensively in system administration tasks, it is better that you opt for the stable version.
