I don't think so. AFAICT, RDP (a-la Windows) and VNC both do exaclty
the same thing: they send display pixel info to be displayed. They
try to optimize the process by only sending deltas and by using
various compression schemes, but they're both doing the basically the
same thing. RDP also has a bunch of other stuff to support things
like audio, printer, filesystem, and serial/prallel port redirection
that I don't think VNC ever had. But the display/mouse/keyboard part
of it works pretty much the same.
