Fred, I did some more research into the problem of connecting to Windows Vista and Windows Sever 2008 Beta 3 using Rdesktop on the N800. It turns out that if I use the IP address instead of the netbios hostname that the Rdesktop client DOES work on the N800. It is kind of interesting to see the Windows Media Center application running on the N800 screen. I can even use the N800 to manage the TV programming guide/selection. However, The Media Center application is "smart" enough to realize that it is connecting to a RDP display and so video playback is suppressed.
