Is it actually miles behind?

I've used RDP to work remotely and also to play some games inside Hyper-V VM and I didn't felt big difference between native



I haven't used it much lately, but a few years back I was working on a Windows Server system (whichever was the version that was basically Windows 8) and remember it being really janky (latency spikes, image artifacts, etc.) over my pathetic DSL Internet connection. Then I noticed some other admin installed TeamViewer on it so I gave it a try and it was way faster and smoother so I switched to it permanently, despite the constant annoyances because we were too cheap to pay for a license.

Admittedly, it's been almost a decade since Windows 8 (!?!), so this is a very dated experience.
