It is with great excitement I write that Fran?ois Revol (mmu_man) and BeRDP project team ( under the lead of Phil Greenway - Sikosis) have joined forces.

Friday afternoon Sikosis wrote in a response to our rdesktop newsupdate:

"We recently learnt of mmu_man's fine work and have been assisting in anyway possible. We will be tailoring the BeRDP client to work with this native cmdline app.

Look out for 0.4 :)

Sikosis - BeRDP Team"

Well, it took them less than a day to merge the two project. Great work! BeRDP v0.4 is now available for download. The preference application is not completed, but Fran?ois' rdesktop can now be started from BeRDP and BeRDP no longer uses x11.

The project has also redone and moved their web site, and there are some more screenshots available.

The developers behind Masquerade have updated their site a bit. They have added a link to the nordic beos user group and added a newer screenshot for your pleasure. As one of the developers writes on their web page: the earlier screenshots was "kinda ugly, we've been mostly working on the inner workings of Masquerade and optimized the code a bit. I had planed to fix the interface ugliness before posting screenshots.

mmu_man has given IsComputerOn access to his latest development, a native working rdesktop for Zeta / BeOS. A similar project, BeRDP, started making a connection dialog that will fit nicely with it. mmu_man's rdesktop is for now started from the Terminal, but will hopefully be launchable soon by BeRDP.

IsComputerOn has tested the rdesktop with Zeta and we were very satified with the speed in rdesktop. We could access all our applications under Windows XP with various color depths and resolutions.

mmu_man has been so kind to post some screenshots on his web site for you. Enjoy!

After the case received widespread coverage on the Internet, Microsoft has admitted it may have taken things too far and has promised to treat Rowe fairly. A Microsoft spokesperson told ZDNet UK: "We appreciate that Mike Rowe is a young entrepreneur who came up with a creative domain name. We take our trademark seriously, but maybe a little too seriously in this case."
