Well MS won't do it because MacOS X doesn't offer RDC support.
On the other hand, you don;t need it at all.
MacOS X (10.4 and 10.5 at least) offer native VNC support. You can set
your Mac as a VNC server (Sharing preferences, Screen sharing).
Any VNC client application will then allow you to take control of your
Mac. Leopard comes with a built-in VNC client as well.
You can even create vnc shortcuts.
In a text editor (TextEdit), enter the link in the form:
vnc://10.10.10.10
(enter the IP of the Mac or the Bonjour name in the form
name_of_the_mac.local)
Select the link and drag it to the desktop.
When you want to connect, simply double-click the shortcut you just
created.
You can also control your Mac from a PC pretty much the same way: use
one of the many VNC client applications.

They usually don't post here... (and considering that MacOS X already
offers a similar feature, I doubt they'd want to even try to go there).
