I didn't know about IGEL

Do you know if their thin clients will offer RemoteFX support using
specialized hardware for the decoding of the codec used by RemoteFX?

The new version of mstsc.exe that came out with Windows 7 SP1 is supposed to
offer software support for RemoteFX, without hardware acceleration. The
problem is that implementing the codec in software is non-trivial, and also
quite slow compared to hardware acceleration. I haven't looked at the codec
specification myself, but if there was a way to accelerate RemoteFX decoding
using general purpose GPU acceleration such as OpenCL, that would be nice.

That just gave me the idea of trying to figure out how the new version of
mstsc.exe actually implements software decoding of RemoteFX. Maybe it
delegates part of it to the GPU, just like modern implementations of GDI do.
