I discovered something utterly bizarre with vanilla RDP the other week: connecting to a machine with an optical reader which also has a CD in it? More or less renders playback of that CD useless. And will until that machine is rebooted! Apparently, this is by design. Just in case you wanted to remote into some machine and listen to a CD on that machine. What the hell. Anyway, that sent me on a search for a replacement.
