MS Terminal Services still suck.  However, if you have a Windows Machine
that has them installed, I have found that you get more usefulness using
rDesktop than VNC if you need to attach to it with a *NIX box.

I would not suggest someone go out and write a terminal services server
for the *NIX platform, but a client comes in quite handy when you have to
deal with places of business not yet enlightened.
