CoRD – a Cocoa Remote Resktop Client

I'm currently working in a tri-OS world. Lots of developers are using Mac laptops, linux workstations and Windows workstations. Things run on all these, and we need to be able to get to one from another. We have Cisco VPN, but I use Shimo for VPN control as it's so much nicer. But one of the things I've been concerned about is the ability to use RemoteDesktop into my Windows boxes (I need to monitor/control about 11 every day) from my Mac.

Enter CoRD 0.5.0.

It's an Open Source project on Sourceforge that places a Cocoa client to the Windows RemoteDesktop API and gives me the ability to show windows displays back on my Mac. That's something really nice. I can't wait to try it out.
