I didn't know that you realy do a clean room implementation of the RDP client. Our Sun sales rep told us many times that you share the same MS RDP Client codebase with MS and that Connector is 100% compatible with the MS RDP Client!
BTW, Specs from MS are changing every quater. I think, there are a lot of updates or fixes on it (like RDP 7 spesc, session brocker support, microphone redirection extention etc).
