Google Remote Vs MS RDP - each have their pros and cons, The Google RD uses the resolution of the host PC. RDP uses the full display resources available on the Remote device. I've yet to find a way to send F11 (or Atl+F11) via Google remote to open the nav pane or VBE but for most users this isn't an issue. Google RD is easier to setup but MS RDP is not too hard, you just need a Win Pro OS. Where the Google Remote shines is its assist mode where two people can both see and effect the same PC at the same time. That's useful if you need to remotely assist one of your staff. You can't do that with MS RDP.
