Terminal Services

I have pretty much decided to get an imac when the new models come out. My only question is can I run Terminal Services to log into a PC machine without running Windows XP on the Mac?

My guess is that I will need to run Parallels in order to do it but if I can get away without doing that it would be fantastic.

Thank you,
Shanley

Nobody has any idea if there are even going to be new models this year, you might be waiting till January.

Terminal services on the Mac to log in from another machine, or a remote desktop client for logging into a Windows machine that has Terminal Services configured? If it's the latter, yes you can.

You can also do the former.

One thing of note that I have learned when using remote desktop - for some reason if I use my companies secure client VPN software to VPN into my employer's network, I can't use remote desktop to log into the PC. Probably because it's all secured up and refuses requests. I'm sure there's something I could do to configure it to allow that, but I haven't bothered.
