I recently downloaded and installed CoRD (A Cocoa Remote Desktop Client) for my Mac Book Pro and I have been extremly impressed with this remote desktop app. 
It was a simple OS X drag and drop install and it was running smoothly with no crazy configuration. My only complaint is that there is no documentation so I was actually super suprised and happy when it worked so well.
Setup: to setup CoRD on my Mac I started the app and then entered the IP of the Windows XP computer I wanted to connect to and hit the Green Plus button to start the Remote Desktop session. That was it! Really! I have no idea how my XP box is set-up as it predates me so I could have gotten lucky but anyways that would be a Windows XP issue not a CoRD issue.
I have been using CoRD for about a week now and would recomend it for any Mac users who need to be able to remotely connect to a XP box.

I agree with you I also have recently got myself a macbook pro and have a PC with windows XP so this Cord program is great, the only thing is, have you been able to copy files from the PC to the mac? or drag and drop from one desktop to the other? if so, how do I do this?
Thank you.
