Ratings and Reviews
Perfect!
Never tried the previous versions, but on my home network its working like a charm :)
Worse than version 8
I was using Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 for a long time, then I got the "will soon be deprecated" warning, so I installed Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 and ran into an issue immediately.
When connecting to the remote machine, the image was blurry. I played with settings and no matter what I tried it remained that way, while Remote Desktop 8 with "Resolution: Native", "Full screen mode: OS X native" works perfectly. Remote Desktop 10 doesn't even have the equivalent settings, but I tried everything possible nonetheless to no avail.
As of now, version 10 is much worse than version 8 and is unusable for me.
Few suggestions
Improve refresh rate/resolution/input lag for better internet connections.
Support for multiple displays.
