You make it sound like a new feature to have a linux client when they really have screwed it up years ago because the base platform, Eclipse, is multi-platform capable.

The usage of not portable C libs was definitly wrong in the first place. 

Hope the did some bugfixes on the outline. It still is a mess.

... enough ranting from me ... long live RDP (till the next name change) =)

I believe the problem is that much functionality is leveraged from 
existing libraries written in C, and getting those libraries to run well 
on multiple platforms is quite a different story.
