I know for a fact that Fedora's rdesktop doesn't work with Windows 
Server 2008 (based on Vista codebase).  Apparently Microsoft changed the 
protocol.

Moreover most of the VNC servers don't work either because of the 
different security model in Vista.  The only remote access I could 
arrange was using UltraVNC server, which seems to be the only VNC server 
that has been modified for the new security model.
