I'm ok with it. Works quite nicely on my servers and I have heaps of them but no production on HyperV, only staging and only remote desktop which works ok. My main issue is that RPD keeps dropping out if I do nothing. If I use it it's all good and fast but if I leave it open for 3-4minutes it's dead and I have to reconnect
