Yup, and I don't know what they think of that.  My guess is they're ok with RDP because it's a separate well-known TCP listen port number they can block in the firewalls, and afaik doesn't work behind NATs (when the server is behind a NAT) unless you create static port maps.  And RA requires a separate permissions password for the session, I think.
