remote Desktop with BootCamp?

You should really have a word with your IT department (if you have one). Its a bit tricky trying to give sound advise on here without knowing what your requirements are. For instance, if you work for a large organisation, I'm sure there will be policies in place of what you can use, desktop builds, etc. If you work for a smaller firm then I'm sure things would not be as tight as the former.

Anyway, bootcamp doesn't need to be puchased. Remote desktop is a horrible way to work as it ties up the machine you are remoting onto. ie. waste of resource. VPN'ing onto a network is probably a better solution. You don't necessarily need a Windows machine to log on to a network. An OSX (or Linux) computer can too as they can also authenticate against LDAP servers very easily. Just some general comments without knowing what the bigger picture is and as I said, speak to your IT dept to see what they think. They make the rules.

 

Agree w/ bigjobby-- remote desktop is a nuisance, VPN'ing onto a network is probably a better solution. If you are looking for a VPN client, check out NCP Secure Entry Mac Client: http://www.ncp-e.com/en/downloads/software.html

Good luck!
