Todd's Favorite Mac Apps: CoRD
Since I often have to connect to Windows servers (or sometimes workstations) from my Mac laptop, CoRD is my RDP client of choice. CoRD is a free and open-source application for Mac that allows me to save multiple servers' connection information in the handy sidebar so that I can quickly start remote desktop connections.CoRD lets me connect to multiple servers simultaneously while only taking up one window of screen real estate, or I can use windowed mode so that each connection has a dedicated window.
Adding a connection is as simple as providing a label, the server IP address or hostname, and any credentials that should be saved for easy access:
When connected, I can easily use the Windows machine as if I was sitting in front of it:
CoRD combined with Apple Remote Desktop and a VPN client allow me to remotely control Windows or Mac machines from almost anywhere. CoRD supports connections to Windows 2000, 2003, XP Pro, and Vista, but not VNC or Apple Remote Desktop clients.

It does work great - however development seems dead. Nothing has changed since Feb after the 0.5 BETA 1 :-(

I just love this piece of software! Its really MUCH better (more responsive imho) than M$'s lil'Tool.
I'd love to see this for windows! With the new Client on windows u cant even save different logins for one connection.. :(

How do you reboot an XP system that you are RDP'd into using Cord? (in other words, how do you send Control-Alt-Delete)?
