Depends on the setup. If you are connecting into a work computer, RDP doesn't need any software installed on the host computer, just the ports opened and maybe the firewall tweaked. It may not be possible to install VNC in your work situation. For the user with XP home, I would agree with you that its a great alternative. I have used both and am currently using RDP with zaDesktop and really like it.
