There's no need to worry, though, as the company has just promised (http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2013/10/19/microsoft-confirms-working-remote-desktop-app-windows-phone/?fromcat=microsoft) The Next Web that it's writing a client for its own mobile platform. Redmond can't yet say when it'll release the app, although we wouldn't expect a launch in the near future. Microsoft got a head start on developing for Android and iOS by acquiring technology from HLW Software, which produced Remote Desktop equivalents until this month; there's no such luxury for Windows Phone.
