# Windows Remote Desktop (RDC) from OSX/Mac

These are two primary clients used to connect to a Windows Terminal Server (Remote Services) or any other Windows machine (7/Vista/XP/2003/2008) that may have remote desktop access enabled over port 3389.

(<span class="caps">RDCC</span>) The official Microsoft client for the Mac/<span class="caps">OSX</span> is version 2.1.0 at the time of this writing and available here: [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client](http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client)

(CoRD) Many users have complained about the stability and reliability of the MS client, as an alternative there is an open source solution called CoRD with much better reviews: [http://cord.sourceforge.net/](http://cord.sourceforge.net/)
