Nobody mentioning something like PCoIP? I think the direction to go, being compute/GPU nowadays much more powerful and even in the same chip (and bandwidth), is to just remote the framebuffer or the video output built on the source machine, with realtime hardware assistance. No primitives, no API... just pixels, so both world can evolve without being in lockstep. PCoIP is proprietary but the basic philosophy is pretty sounding ("graceful degradation" etc., I've used it even across WANs and the experience was pretty good). Amazon AWS is using it to stream its remote cloud desktops.
