* Nobody uses windows terminal server for anything serious, because of its reputation for security holes (which may or may not be outdated, but y'know, "java is slow" etc etc).

* Nobody likes Citrix, even (or particularly) when they use it every day. The amount of compromises and hoops that app developers have to consider to deploy on it, is significant.

Entire companies run on remote desktop. It's the industry standard, at least here in Germany. I'm working with a lot of enterprise customers and I never heard about particular security concerns with RDP. If anything, the protocol has an excellent security track record.
