Also worth noting: The services for this do not have
to be enabled. Anyone who doesn't use remote desktop
should disable the service. The same goes for remote
access in general. Patches are great if you use the service,
but it's like allowing ActiveX in IE: The whole design is very
useful while at the same time it cannot be made safe.
