Remote desktop doesn't fall under crap, Yoni!
The crappy firewall, however, does.
Might I point you to this thread?
Additionally, unlike with Windows XP Professional, you can have multiple people connected with Terminal Services.

More accurately, you can't have multiple active sessions -- console sessions are remote sessions are not differentiated as they are in Server builds. This means that if you connect via Remote Desktop, you cannot log in via the console even with an administrator account unless the remote desktop user agrees.

[edit] Skywing, I was referring to out-of-box. Good point, though.

The console session is remote connectable with Windows Server 2003, btw (quite handy for those MB_SERVICE_NOTIFICATION messageboxes).
