Microsoft quietly announced on October 7 that it would be releasing a remote desktop app for iOS, Android, and OS X. Microsoft didn't really advertise for this event whatsoever, but who is really excited about Microsoft announcements anymore? Lots of people. These applications are expected to be released alongside the Windows Server 2012 R2, or later this month, no cost info yet, but we have some pretty solid ideas.
The apps are reportedly going to support all popular versions of iOS and Android. Also, according to the sources, they will be incredibly feature rich. Heck, maybe they'll take advantage of the 64-bit chips coming out in modern handsets.
There is no concrete info on pricing yet, but according to sources:
"The price of RDS CALs for Windows Server 2012 R2 is going up by 20 percent. Per-device RDS CALs will cost $102 per year, while per-user RDS CALs will cost $118 per year, as Redmond Magazine noted. Organizations with RDS CALs for Windows Server 2012 won't have to buy new CALs if they are upgrading to Windows Server 2012 R2."
What do you folks think? Do any of you even use remote desktop applications? If you didn't, is there a better way? Clouds vs Remote Desktop access! Go! Please comment below.
