RSSApple Delivers Remote Desktop 3
By Nate Mook | Published April 11, 2006, 11:48 AM
Apple on Tuesday released the third version of its Remote Desktop software, adding support for Intel based Macs and 50 new features including faster file copy speeds and the ability to hide a desktop while it is being controlled remotely. Version 3 also integrates with Mac OS X 10.4's Spotlight features for searching across multiple remote desktops.
Other new features in Remote Desktop 3 include a Dashboard widget for monitoring remote systems, task templates for replicating tasks across multiple machines, application usage reports, and 128-bit AES encryption between Remote Desktop and client machines. The new release is available now for $299 USD when managing up to 10 systems. A version for managing unlimited Macs runs $499 USD.
I am currently using 2.2 and am delighted with it. I really look forward to getting my hands on version 3 but unfortunately it does not yet appear to be available here in Ireland (the BUY button links to the STORE home page).

|As ARD3 was just released today, we do not use it. But have have been using ARD2 for about 2 years. It is a great product and we are excited about the new features of ARD3, if only we can get it in the budget. It really has made our life a lot better and I recommend this product to anyone who does a large amount of Mac support.

|Anyone use this? We use RDC for PCs and Timbuktu for the Macs but would like to get rid of the latter. Every time I'm at an Apple store they're unable to show me a demo. Its sounds really nice though.
