Bummer.

I saw it on several comparison sheets seveal months back. One was from MS themselves I believe.

I'll have to dig them up.

OK, quick search on google pulls up this MS page:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx

Which links to this page which is the MS one I had seen previously:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1...comparison.aspx

Which says that windows 6.1 standard has and RDP client. I just noticed though that is has a footnote that it's an "optional licenseable component". Does that mean that it's up to the handset manufacturer to put it on or not? If that's the case, then that is annoying.

This is something I've been wanting. I've tried some of the hacked together and java alternatives and none of them really work very well, IMO. Was hoping MS would get it right.

Boo. :D

Now I'll have to look for another way to get some decent free RDP client...

Otherwise I'll have to go for a 3rd party VNC solution...

I've linked to the wm 6.1 RDP client from a recent article, it also works on the MS Smartphone platform. check out my article, it's been posted to the PPC forum here.

Good luck for anyone trying to find that 6.1 RDP client from "a recent article". I've search these forums for 30 minutes now and I've yet to find it. All I've found is a remote access bible which I believe the most recent update was in January. I Wouldn't consider that recent (January to August).

You may want to give zaDesktop a try. It's currently in beta and free, but the few times that I've used it it's performed well. Here's the link:
