And you dont think there is a cost to run RDP? If you disable it i would suspect you gain more than 5mb of memory In fact you might even save resources by using VNC instead

I think it would be completely ludicrous for MP to minimize or close down on RDP connections, in fact i think that logging into the same session as MP with RDP is asking for trouble. MP(and many other programs like Powerstrip) is not likely to appreciate the fact that its suddenly running on virtual video and audio devices, and i dont blame it! RDP is just not meant for this kind of remote control. Its there to allow remote desktop access(ie think thin clients) or remote controlling servers(which dont use their display device).

However, setting RDP up for multiple sessions and logging in with a different user, that makes sense. You can make changes without affecting the TV display, and if need be shut down MediaPortal. MCE allows multiple login of out the box(exactly because they want you to log into a seperate session on your HTPC), while WinXP doesnt unless you use the beta terminal server dll, so i think the problem IS actually completely solved
