  • This app is perhaps one of the most useful currently available on Windows 8 for IT people.

    • Especially on a tablet/touchscreen. Before now I have used others and liked them, but the features this gives me for touch will easily bring me back to Remote Desktop as my favorite way to control remote computers. I really wish it was as responsive as Splashtop Remote Desktop which I use on my personal computers. If splashtop and this could make a baby that would be about perfect. There really is a lot worth talking about with this one.
