Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac
This has to be one of the best pieces of software that Microsoft has released - it was great in Windows and is great-ish on OSX. I say great-ish because the RDC for Mac can only login to one Windows machine at a time.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

I can't answer your question about this specific application as I never tried it. However you should be aware that intel macs can be set up to dualboot into windows XP SP2 if needed. If you are able to use such applications as you mention then you can set up dualbooting in no time.
Alternatively you can use a virtulization option like parallels or VM fusion to run windows apps without booting into windows. Some works great while other don't so they allow you to use a free 30 day trial to learn if it works for you. If you want to know if it works before buying hardware then you can always send a mail to ask them if it works.
I hope this helps.
