Companies commonly depend on applications designed to run solely on Windows. For businesses that have a combination of Apple Mac and Windows computers, there exist two basic solutions for using Windows-only software on macOS or OS X: remote control of an actual Windows computer or local emulation of a Windows operating system on a Mac OS X desktop. Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Apple Mac allows you to connect an Apple Mac to a remote Windows-based computer to use Windows applications and share system resources. Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac is included in Microsoft Office for Mac and features major improvements over older releases. Microsoft's Virtual PC for Apple Mac simulates Microsoft Windows on a Mac computer so you are able to use Microsoft Windows applications directly. Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac was available in high-end versions of Microsoft Office 2004 for Apple Mac but is not included in the latest releases of Office for Apple Mac. VMware Fusion allows you to run Windows as well as most other operating systems on a Mac.

Progent's macOS and OS X support experts can help you to maintain these products for running Windows applications on your Macs and can in addition help your business to assess and install third-party solutions for Microsoft Windows PC simulation.

Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for Mac
Expertise for MS Remote Desktop Connection for Apple MacRemote Desktop Connection for Apple Mac enables you to connect your Mac to a Windows-based system to run Microsoft Windows applications, exchange files, and utilize system resources. You can copy documents between your Mac and your Windows-powered system and output from Windows software to printers connected to your Mac.

Desktop emulation requires relatively modest CPU utilization from the local Apple Mac and therefore in most scenarios provides higher performance than CPU emulation. To attach to a remote Windows-based computer, you must have network access and authorization to attach to the computer. The Microsoft Windows computer must be running Terminal Services or Remote Desktop. MS Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac is provided as a no-cost web download or as part of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 and is compatible with Windows Server 2008, 2003, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000 Server.

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac version 2 provides enhanced features including:

  • A GUI interface and menu bar that makes the attachment function simpler to use
  • Remote Desktop Protocol version 6.0 for better throughput and Windows Vista and Windows 7 connectivity
  • Multiple session capability for handling sessions with a number of computers
  • Automatic reconnection for resuming a session if you drop the connection
  • Session Window sizing alternatives for running the remote connection as a full screen or in a resizable window
  • Apple Mac printing support for printing Windows files on a Mac-attached printer
  • Network Level Authentication for enhanced security when connecting to Windows Vista and Windows 7 PCs
  • Higher screen density to accommodate wide-screen monitors
  • Streamlined login options for improved productivity

Virtual PC for Mac
Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac HelpVirtual PC for Mac simulates an Intel/AMD-type CPU and converts a Mac into a virtual Microsoft Windows machine that permits you to access Windows PC software, files, and network resources. Processor simulation is CPU intensive on the client Apple Mac and trades off some speed for convenience, flexibility, and a richer set of features. Virtual PC 7 for Mac is compatible with the Mac G5 platform and Apple Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and was provided with the Professional Edition of Office 2004 for Apple Mac.

Key features of Microsoft's Virtual PC 7 for Mac include:

  • Sharing of Files and Temporary Storage enables folder and media exchange between Microsoft Windows and Mac applications and permits storing documents and data in a folder on a Mac and accessing them from within Microsoft Windows
  • Shared Mac and Windows PC Peripherals allows access to a variety of Windows PC and Mac peripherals including printers and removable disks, even ones designed specifically to be run with a Windows computer
  • Cross-platform Cut and Paste allows Microsoft Virtual PC version 7 and a Mac program to use the same clipboard for copying and pasting between Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac platforms
  • A Quick Save capability permits users to shut down a virtual PC in a single step and resume from that point
  • Zero Configuration Printing for Panther systems (Mac OS X version 10.3) does away with the necessity to install special drivers. It is possible to click Print and utilize the same printing functionality and software drivers used by the Mac operating system.

    Progent provides technical support for medium size businesses who have 100 to 250 system users. The mid-size company or work group has traditionally been an overlooked part of the market for network consulting services. The overhead and support delivery models of major outside service organizations make them excessively costly for the ordinary mid-size company or small medium business (SMB), which commonly has a modest IT budget with which to support an IT system whose advanced technology and sophistication are often similar to the networks of far larger enterprises. Progent's service delivery model, which takes full advantage of online support, virtual office technology and proactive network monitoring, significantly lowers the network maintenance expenses of a small-medium business while providing the small company with big-company support from certified, world-class consultants with background in a broad array of small business technologies. If your medium size organization or small business is searching for the quality of IT help needed for a medium size office without budgeting big-company prices, call Progent.
