No, unless you are running Windows 2000 Server - Remote Desktop is
essentially the same as Terminal Services in Remote Administration mode.
There are third party alternatives for Win2k Pro - eg. See:

"This software package will install the client portion of Remote Desktop on any of the
following operating systems: Windows 95, Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003. (This is the same version of the client
software as in Windows XP Service Pack 2.) When run, this software allows older Windows
platforms to remotely connect to a computer running Windows XP Professional with Remote
Desktop enabled."

Yeah, I d/l'ed that, then noticed that you can only use it to connect to a

That's all there is ! That is unless you use another software such as PC AnyWhere.
The difference is that remote desktop gives you your own copy of the desktop, while
TightVNC has you use the existing desktop (on Windoze systems - a linux host gives you
your own desktop). Make sure you install the mirror driver and set the screen update to
full screen, every 300ms.
