The only available Remote Desktop Connection application after installation of Windows 8 Pro is the desktop version, but reviewers report the availability of a Metro-styled version, at least on Windows RT. Where can I find it?

It's not installed by default, but you can download it from the Windows Store.

Just to note that self answers are both in the letter and the spirit of stack exchange rules. There was a slightly mean comment thread earlier, and well self answering is fine. I'm a little iffy on the original question though - it sort of lacks distinctiveness, and really it can't be that hard to search on the windows store. It also opens up the possibility of "how to run X metro app" - which eventually is going to end up with a lot of localised questions. I don't think the downvotes are warranted in any case. – Journeyman Geek Oct 27 '12 at 1:14
Thank you @JourneymanGeek. I would like to add that "how to run X metro app" doesn't exactly apply here since in Windows RT the application is installed by default, which might lead to confusion (and did in my case). – DzinX Oct 27 '12 at 6:59
