Hello,

DO any of you have remote access software recommendations. I need to use my MBP to access a Windows 8 computer. The Windows computer is not local, it is access town.

Many thanks
Monty

THanks, I've heard good thing about TeamViewer. I'd like to stay away from MS software :)

I also use TeamViewer to access my Win 7 PC from my iMac, and vice versa. I also use the TeamViewer app to access my iPhone and iPad from either my PC or my iMac. The Remote Connection capability of TeamViewer is free for non-commercial use.

Why? You're remoting into a Microsoft platform...why not use a Microsoft product to do so?
