Thanks, that's very useful feedback. I agree, the need for RDP is very Windows-specific - I don't know how common RDP tools are for Unix, but I can easily imagine it's a nuisance to set one up. I'm not aware of any ssh implementations for Windows (other than cygwin, which probably has other issues) but I'll see what I can find.
