Mike - re: dybdahl comments - a lot of the other comments were pretty close though. I have had many occasions when I had to kill an IE window and of course every other internet process disappears too. Outlook is even worse - if you use word as your IE word processor, a hang on any outlook process (say if the calendar update from a remote exchange server gets sick) means you then cannot use word, even if the word document is local, and you were not doing anything in outlook which requires word - very irritating. Some of the other comments about network printers (and other network resources) slowing down local operations looked familiar too...

256 colors is the maximum with Windows 2000 when you are running terminal services. The reason is the protocol, not the display drivers capabilities, color settings or whatsoever.

For some unknown reason, MSFT obviously wasn't capable to improve this protocol to do more than 256 colors. I mean, they are able to extend Kerberos, why not the RDP protocol?

My wallpaper still looks bad.
