Microsoft remote desktop client for mac9/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This has to be there worst RDP experience I've ever seen. So now I just cant do most of the things I normally would in windows.Įvent just trying to scroll web pages is horrible. When COmmand+V would normally execute clipboard history in windows. I got here by searching for why does it suck so much.ally careful all the time coz if I press a normal key-combo for windows I suddenly end up on another desktop in Macos with something random in some random application.Īnd things like copy and past undo work for both mac and windows shortcuts when they shouldn't eg. All shortcuts worked scrolling through text was smooth etc. MacOS shortcuts always take priority so have to be really careful all the time coz if I press a normal keycombo for windows I suddenly end up on another desktop in Macos with something random in some random application. Ive been using RDP a lot and now Ive got a mac and trying to control my PC remotely and it sucks so bad mainly because none of the keyboard shortcuts work. I got here by searching for "why does it suck so much". Good ole Microsoft quality! So to this day a client product released 10 years ago for a non Microsoft platform (to connect to a MS platform) works better today than any thing MS has ever done and not just a little better, light years better. Microsoft made it unusable for a good 6 months with coding bugs and issues. I had a better iPad experience to a Microsoft server in 2010 than I have ever have had to this day with any MS software (not counting the new MS beta products).Įdit: also want to point out that iTap production was simply terrible for about 1-2 years. It never happened not, even to this day.Īlso, to this day more than 10 years after their majorly 2008 release and high dpi display support in Windows 7 (though limited), they still only have a beta product. Mind you their printer support for RDP in Apple products always was better than their Windows counter part promising in blog posts to bring the same to Windows. ![]() Microsoft didn't even support TS gateways in their Mac software until they bought someone out. As shown, it doesn't take new OSes with RDP servers, and touch has always worked in those products even before Windows 8. The point is a 3rd party (iTap, etc) care more than Microsoft about the quality of an experience of RDPing. I bought a second monitor with worse resolutions strictly so I could use Remote Desktop without having to right click and hit Zoom every time I wanted to admin a server.Ģ016 sure but 2012R2 (the majority of production servers) it's still crap even from Windows 10. I now have a 4K monitor and use scaling options, when I open a RDP session on this monitor it doesn't use those scaling settings when displaying the remote desktop and the cursors are all incorrectly sized (even when I use the Zoom setting. In OS X the remote desktop app has it's own menu bar that lets you edit the current connection and save settings for future re connections.Īnother issue with the windows version I have (I don't know if this is the same for OS X) is scaling. You can't manage the connection after you've opened it. The OS X version let you choose a specific folder to share to the remote computer, the windows version forces you to choose a whole drive. ![]() It seems the only similar feature is full screen mode. The OS X version opens in a window and resizes the resolution of the remote desktop to match the window dimensions. Two major differences that are a pain in the butt. ![]()
