And to be honest, the less Microsoft products that you have to use the better.
This is just plain ignorance.. first of Remote Desktop isn't a microsoft product.. unless microsoft bought CITRIX..

2ndly, the reason why people love citrix/terminal services.. is cause when you open a window it downloads the math of the window.. not taking a picture of it like VNC does.. this is no doubt cause citrix and microsoft have a very nice agreements in place for citrix to see the source code of windows..

Now what might be a bigger step of genuis to make Remote Desktop or VNC working better would be to have a built in DDNS client.. and or even having the program keep the port open thus eliminating the need for router configuration? maybe that's why software like logmein (a vnc clone) is popular..
