Can I use a VPN and a Remote Desk Top on my Mac?

I am on the market for a new lap top. I would like to get a Mac Pro, but most of my work is done via remote desk top through a VPN connection with my company. Everything is supported by Windows and PC servers and there are no Mac computers being used in the company now. My IT manager doesn't know if there is compatibility with a Mac being able to interface with our system. Is there a simple solution here?

I have a similar situation as you for work. Here is what I use:

1) I have MS Office 2011 installed. It comes with a remote desktop application that works perfectly with other Windows systems (XP and 7). I can connect to multiple PCs at work from home with no problems so far.

2) We use the Juniper VPN clent with an RSA key to connect to our network through a tunnel. This has worked just fine.
