Windows Remote Desktop for MacBooks

Hi All,

Looking for advice on a better solution for accessing my office PC from a MacBook or from an iMac at home. I have been using a PC at home and ThinkPad on the road with Windows Remote Desktop and Terminal Services at work up to now. I just bought an iMac for home and thinking of a MacBook of some kind on the road. Microsoft has a free Remote Desktop downoad for Mac and it works OK but opens in a small window and coupled with the AppleMouse which seems to require more real estate than the PC mouse, it seems to be more of a hassle to access my work PC than it was with all-PC products.

So a new Apple user would appreciate any suggestions for other software, etc. Ideally this would be Remote Desktop type of software because I think it is going to be a big issue to go to our IT people and tell them I want to access my computer at work via something other than Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Services.
