Examples of software to use include Microsoft Remote Desktop, Jump Desktop. Emulation for Mac Users - PPS will run locally on any Mac provided that it can.
Along with Windows 8.1, Microsoft today launched new Microsoft Remote Desktop apps for iOS and OS X, designed to give users access to a Windows PC via RemoteFX on their Macs, iPhones, and iPads. News of a potential Remote Desktop app for Apple devices last week.
The iOS app offers a secure connection to data and applications through NLA technology along with multi-touch capabilities. It supports high quality video and sound streaming and connects to external monitors or protectors to for presentations. The Mac version also includes the ability to access local Mac files from Windows applications and printer capabilities. I see nothing here that would draw me away from using TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com), which is free for personal use and works with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Ubuntu, iPhone, iPad, etc. It's very secure and quite simple to set up and use (no messing around with ports), which comes in handy if providing remote support to those who aren't very computer literate. You can talk them through the setup on their end and be connected to them in less than a minute. I see no advantage at all in using a Microsoft product for this.It really is a business tool rather than a consumer application especially since RDP is only available on the Pro or higher versions of Windows. Using this Microsoft app to remote admin servers from a Mac is a lot cheaper than the £439 it would cost for TeamViewer.
I've been using CoRD and while it works well it does seem to have stagnated in development.

I see no advantage at all in using a Microsoft product for this. I guess if you don't mind opening your ports up to the world, Team Viewer would be easier to set up. I like having several layers of protection, so I have a 2 firewalls + VPN on the home network that my computer/phone has to get through before I can open an rdp connection to computers at home. So far I've had good luck with this product. It connects to my Win 7 and Win 2008 Server systems fine.and it's free! I was using Jump on my iPhone, but I'm going to install and try this on it next. Btw they've fixed all of the display issues in the latest release.
Tbh, I am very surprised that MS even created a Remote Desktop client that runs on the competitor's OS. I guess times are changing:).
Sometimes operating a PC requires remote desktop access, but in many cases the desktop in high resolution is possible only when the computer detects a connected display.

You attach this to the headless computer to make the graphics card on it work properly Display Emulator Features:.

See the above option. The Display Emulator does not display anything so it has doesn't need to support HDCP. The Display Emulator is used to trick Mac Minis or other PCs into thinking a real monitor is attached so the Mac will provide an HD display that can be seen via VNC.
The Mac understands that VNC does not represent an HDCP compliant device and will therefore not provide an HDCP signal to it regardless of whether any monitor attached to the Mac supports HDCP.
