I use mstsc.exe for Windows to Windows connections.

Is there a way to remote access a Windows 7 machine from Ubuntu Linux using RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)? What is the equivalent of mstsc.exe that I can easily run from Ubuntu?

rdesktop is the ticket my friend. It rocks.

apt-get install rdesktop

then

$ rdesktop [hostname]

and of course 'rdesktop --help' will explain how to use it. Here's some extra docs for you. Those extra docs refer to "Terminal Server Client" too:

Terminal Server Client (Applications > Internet > Terminal Server Client) is a GUI front-end to VNC and rdesktop

You can install that through the software center and use it if the command-line calls are too disconcerting.
