You Want That!

Thanks goes out to our friend “Scoobyrandall” who provided us with another choice for remoting into Windows systems.

RD Tabs is a tab based RDP (Remote Desktop) client that works pretty well.  Our initial impression is a good one.  We like how it renders the remote computer a little better out of the box than Terminals but then again we haven’t played with all the properties and settings in Terminals yet.

If you’re looking for an easy way to manage multiple systems or just want a different client, other than the native Windows RDP client, check this one out as well.

As per the developer’s website:

“Windows Remote Desktop is great, except when you have to connect to dozens of them and it fills up your taskbar! Enter RD Tabs: the ultimate tabbed Remote Desktop Client. Not only does it provide all the expected features of “tabbed” applications like FireFox, Opera, and IE7, but it takes Remote Desktop to the next level with features such as favorites with advanced editing, command line scripting, connection thumbnails, encrypted passwords, detached connection windows, remote desktop screen capture, remote terminal server information/management, RDP 6.0 support, and much more!

In addition, RD Tabs is 100% Vista compatible and works perfectly as a standard (non-admin) user on all versions of Windows. Also, RD Tabs respects Windows’ Remote Desktop Client group policy, for enterprise environments. To top it all off, automatic software updates keep you informed of all the latest versions, fixes, and enhancements.

RD Tabs requires the .Net Framework 2.0.”

One thing not mentioned in the excert above is that they also provide RD Tabs in both a 32bit and 64bit client.
