Dual boot is just not an option, I need remedy running in one Window and everything else I need to actually solve the users&#8217; problems in other windows all at the same time. There is a very old Windows machine in my office that is just used for Remedy so in theory I could move over to that machine each time I need Remedy but that&#8217;s just annoying so I&#8217;ve been using VNC and it worked OK but I couldn&#8217;t copy and paste and the lag was a bit annoying. Anyhow, today a colleague was looking for something else on the MS site and found a Mac version of the Windows Remote Desktop Client and me the link. I&#8217;ve just installed it and I have to say I&#8217;m well impressed. The app is small, efficient, fast and very user-friendly to configure. I have no problem with lag anymore and can copy and paste to\/from the windows machine. It even has a cute icon! Basically everything I expect from Apple Apps but it&#8217;s a MicroSoft App!
