Depending on your type of connection between your Mac and the Windows PC (2K Server and XP work). But it's better than anything else I've tried. Setup? Drag into your Applications folder and double-click it. Enter the address, username and password.

RDC works very fine indeed. I'm using it all the time, as I need the 17" TFT for my Mac. ;-) Faster than using VNC, although VNC of course is cross-platform, which makes it better for some cases (for example if you have a Mac, a linux and a Windows box and want to be able to control all of them from any of them).

depending on the speed of your windows machine...it's way faster than VPC..due to the fact that there is less overhead..and it's just a VNC connection  I use it often and it actually works pretty flawlessy, even over my wireless connection.

I've used and it seems to work pretty well for me. I keep it handy in my applications folder just incase I ever have need of it.
