Wow I can’t believe I have been at this for 20 days! Tonight I am learning Remote Desktop Services. I have learned some cool new facts about RDS in 2012. Let me share some of the things I have seen tonight:

CPU based or Physical support for Remote FX GPU
User Profile Disk – This is a VHD to store the user’s Desktop and files
