you should check out VNC... the free version has most functionality. In some cases its better than RDP. its also very easy to set up.

I just finished loading windows 7 ultimate 32 bit onto my MacBook Pro using the latest version of Boot Camp (3.1) and I was quite amazed how smooth the process went.

The only issue I had with getting UOSA working with Razor properly was changing some permissions to the Ultima Online directory. For some reason after the install the Ultima Online folder was restricted. To fix this, right-click on the folder and select properties. Navigate to the security tab after opening properties and select the user account you wish to edit permissions then check the box marked Full Control.

Another thing I might add is the .net framework 1.1 or 2.0 is no longer necessary. I launched razor and connected to UOSA without installing either package. Hope this helps.

Windows 7 should come with .net framework 3.5 pre-installed, although they were pushing to have 4.0 before the retail hit.
