I think the OP was speaking not so much about having the technical 
wherewithal to use RDP but rather about the experience of RDP vs SSH. 
The difficulty is that Windows doesn't really "think" in ssh. I believe 
there are (third-party) mechanisms to provide ssh-like access, but I 
don't know how successful they really are.
