As title, does it work on M.Lion?

There's conflicting info from what I've read so far. Thanks for your help.

I have 2.1.0 and it works on ML just fine. I checked for updates and it didn't tell me that 2.1.1 is available.
 
Thanks, 2.1.1 is available but MS website says its not compatible but some people say they have it working.

I'll try it, just bought my first mac and it's not going to well!
 
I'm not keen on using those smaller company products. I'll give it a try and hope it works.

I'm used to the iOS experience so the mac osx experience is a shock! Very far behind. Even little things like mission control not having the apps in a linear format but I'll start a new thread as I have a few questions.

WTF, I just copied the download installation file from the dock to the desktop. A cloud appeared and it disappeared?! Deleted?

Did you accidentally drag the whole Downloads stack off the Dock instead of the individual file? It's probably still available through Finder (in the Downloads folder, which you can drag back onto the Dock if you removed it).

Yeah found it. I did just drag the file, held it over the desktop before I let it go.

Installed it, crashed once already but currently working in a small non-widescreen non-resize able window. Lol, this is gonna be tough.
 
I can confirm that it is working in principal (v 2.1.1), but every few hours it crashes for no apparent reason (even not not being actively used).
 
I sometimes have to rdp to another computer through rdp'ing through this to a middle computer. The shift key doesn't work. I have a virtual machine setup now.
 
I'm finding 2x RDP client to be a fantastic alternative. It actually feels faster than the standard client on Windows 7.
