Interesting possibility for Windows-to-Mac Remote Desktop

I had recently revisited my search for a better windows-to-mac remote desktop story, and while searching I stumbled across Aqua Connect.  They have a product with no release date yet called “Remote Desktop Agent”, which according to their site, “allows users to remotely connect to their Mac desktop through any Microsoft compatible remote desktop client such as…Remote Desktop Client…”  Exciting, right?

I stumbled across this in the Wikipedia Remote Desktop Protocol article, where they note that Aqua Connect became the first company to license and implement RDP server for the Mac OS X platform.  I was looking for information on RDP out of desperation, considering what it might take to start a project.

There has to be a better solution than the pile of free VNC implementations, none of which work anything half as well as RDP, and Timbuktu Pro for $199, which hasn’t been updated in forever, makes you pay for updates, and still doesn’t like Win2k8 or Vista.  Maybe Aqua Connect is it?
