Hey boolieman,
I use RDP from my Diamond all the time and I love it. Using a thrid party is just out of the question for me. There is one caveat when trying to rdp into a vista machine. If you are running Vista home Premium or whatever, RDP has been removed. Follow the instructions here to get RDP working on Vista:

Once you get RDP working it's just a matter of launching the RDP app on your phone and plugging in your Computer name or IP, your username and password and it works like a charm!

Hit me back if you have any issues getting it working.

Forgot one thing, if you are behind a router and your ISP gives out dynamic IPs you will have to setup ddns on your router.
