Do you not remember the Microsoft of the late 1990s?
We’re lucky it didn’t cost $250/seat. And we’re luckier that it’s effectively an open protocol, today, though there are still license considerations if you are reaching into Windows.
I was a remote system admin BEFORE Remote Desktop. It was not fun. I would have gladly paid $500/seat at the time for RDP, if that’s what it cost.
