I've always found RDS to be much less reliable than doing things over the
LAN or WAN using regular networking. But I think that, like the dancing pig,
the fact that it works at all is amazing, rather than how well it works. I
also think that integrating stuff into Windows Explorer tends to be
non-trivial as well, to say the least.
