>> This is all down to the fact that RDP came before DWM. If it was the other way around we'd be throwing surfaces down the wire which would be nice.

The joke here is that on Vista to Vista RDP connections (.NET 3.0), WPF was properly remoted over the wire and rendered on the client machine instead of bitmaps being sent. This was removed in .NET 3.5. (http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=216)
