Tip: Control A Windows PC From Your Mac

I had kinda forgotten about this little gem until Small Dog reminded me of it. You can very easily control a Windows PC from your Mac using the free (!) Microsoft Remote Desktop client. The program allows you to control the PC and shows you everything the PC is up to in a window. So if you need to keep a PC around for a program or two, you can control it through your Mac.

The Mac is not running Windows itself, it is simply controlling a PC remotely. If you're looking to run Windows on your Mac, you'll need an Intel-based Mac and Boot Camp or Parallels.
