It's brilliant because rds is done differently. vnc has to work with more
than just windows. so it uses a different method to grab the desktop.

you can...sortta.. :-) if the cam is physicly connected to the XP machine,
go to MS web site, do a search for Windows Media Encoder. downlaod and
install it. then you can stream the video out of your xp box to a specific
port that you can log on to by remote with windows media player (if the
remote client is a windowz box that can run the media player).
