Hell yeah. I spent a lot of time on RDP (Working remotly on my work laptop).
Its great protocol, and over LAN its very very snappy, you can pretty much stream video via it but it will choke bandwidth like there is no tomorrow ;) (around 80Mbit 640x400@25)
Indeed, comparing it to Xserver, its much better. I use quite a lot Xserver on windows too, to render for example remote Firefox. It works pretty well, but not that good compared to RDP.
About 15 or maybe even 20(?) years ago I could RDP into a Windows server over a crappy mobile phone data connection connected to my laptop on a moving train and get stuff done. It is a phenomenal protocol, when implemented correctly!!
