TechNet Webcast: Remote Desktop Protocol as a Presentation Remoting Platform (Level 300)  

In this session, we provide a look under the hood of the enhanced and expanded Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Presentation Platform delivered as part of the Windows Server 2008 operating system. We discuss key features—such as the RDP graphics stack and the new APIs—and why they are so important for the RDP Presentation Platform. In addition to these features, RDP includes a host of evolutionary improvements that together make Windows Server 2008 a compelling release. Terminal Services developers can add Dynamic Virtual Channel (DVC) interfaces to their toolbox that not only make their solutions more scalable and agile in the Terminal Services environment, but also work everywhere-with RDP and/or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA).
