I am in need of a new laptop, and I'm considering going for a Mac. However, an import part of my day-to-day work involves remote desktop'ing to my office computer (Vista), and running Visual Studio 2008. Has anyone done this? Are there specific issues to be aware of?
Thanks!
It works great. I've done it at home lots of the time. Using my MacBook Air to develop on my quad-core workstation remotely. The only issue I can think of (except keyboard shortcuts) is that you don't have Aero available :)
It does work very well indeed. I just want to stress Mehrdad point on keyboard's shorcuts. You will definitely miss them. A Lot!. I know this could be just me not knowing how to do it, but until today, I wasn't able to enable F10 and F11 (very important keys for debugging) working properly.
I'd change Visual Studios shortcuts to be like X-Code's ones. Need time but it's worth it. And I also remember that remote Desktop for mac can re-map mac keys to act as windows ones - if I'm not mistaken try doing that. Otherwise remote desktop works fine, no problems at all.
