In my opinion, if you want to do windows dev work this hypothetical sage 
foundation windows machine also needs MSVC.  That's a fair chunk of change and 
more change for more users.  It's really a *very* good tool though.  It's one 
of 
about 3 programs that I'd say MS really beat the competition with.

As for client software, I use 
http://www.rdesktop.org/
with good success.  I guess it could be coaxed into working with os x -- I've 
only ever tried with linux.  But, it's reverse engineered so there are a few 
rough edges, but these are mostly confined to more esoteric things like 
remoting the audio and stuff like that (which it seems to me, no one in their 
right mind would want to do anyhow.)
