| ### RDP UDP Issues |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not sure I agree with putting this at the end instead of in the RDP section. Seems less likely to get read.

There was a rendering issue with Notes in Tabs, so I moved it to the end. Looks like we are fixing it soon: https://github.com/coder/coder.com/pull/265
I can move it back once that PR gets merged.

| The common way to use remote desktops with Coder is through VNC. | ||
| The common way to connect to a Windows workspace is using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to remotely control a computer over a network connection. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for remote access, enabling users to interact with the remote system as if they were sitting in front of it. |

This reads as patronizing to me. Remote desktop implies a GUI, and given that we don't provide instructions on how to enable RDP in the workspace, I think we should assume the reader has some idea what RDP is.

Updated to remove the sentence talking about what RDP is.
