Apple releases Remote Desktop 3

Apple delivered a new version of Remote Desktop to customers Tuesday, the first update to the software in nearly a year and the first major revision in almost two years.

Remote Desktop 3, which allows users to control and administer Macs remotely, packs more than 50 new features, Apple said. Among these are support for Spotlight searching across remote Macs, a Dashboard widget, Automator support, an AutoInstall feature that automatically installs software on Macs when they reappear on the network, full drag and drop support to and from remote Macs (as Netopia's Timbuktu has had for many years), Application Usage and User History reports, and more.

Remote Desktop 3 also tasks advantage of AES 128-bit encryption between the administration system and remote Macs and can copy files up to 11 times faster than version 2 over fast networks.

Remote Desktop 3 is available now in two flavors: a $299 version for managing up to 10 Macs, and a $499 version for managing an unlimited number. The software requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
