Finally.
CoRD, the most feature-filled, multi-connection RDP client for OSX has released an updated version to their client. I stopped using the client quite some time ago due to performance issues experienced when connecting to Windows 7, Server 2008, as well as Vista however this new version seems to fix those issues.
Here is list of new features. For the full list of added features, bug fixes, and known issues, please see the official announcement here.
New Features:
- Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 support (rdesktop core upgraded to 1.6.0)

- Ability to set default connection settings for new servers, Quick Connect connections, rdp:// URLs, and
- Ability to add custom screen resolutions from the Preferences window
