Parallels today is unveiling an RDP (remote desktop protocol) client for the Raspberry Pi, allowing the tiny computer to remotely access Windows desktops and applications.
Although the Pi has appealed to hobbyists and developers, this product is for businesses, turning the Pi into a thin client for virtual desktop deployments. The pricing isn't aimed at individuals. The Pi client works with the Parallels 2X Remote Application Server, which costs $75 per concurrent user, requiring a minimum of 15 users, making the minimum price $1,125.
But there does seem to be an exception that allows free use for small groups and individuals. There's a 30-day free trial that supports 50 concurrent users, and "After 30 days, you can continue using 2X Remote Application Server for three concurrent users with the FREE license key that you will receive via email after registration," the 2X download page says.
